Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard has teammate Aaron Rodgers at the top of his list of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.

"The greatest of all time," Lazard told TMZ Sports at the Super Bowl LVII festivities in Arizona. "Not might, no might. Drop the might. He's the GOAT."

When asked about Tom Brady, who's widely considered the greatest quarterback of all time, Lazard stood by his statement.

"(Rodgers is) the best person to ever pick up a football and throw the ball," he said. "I'll leave it at that."

Lazard played alongside Rodgers for the last five seasons, compiling 169 receptions for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns. Their future together is uncertain, though, as Lazard is set to become a free agent and Rodgers is mulling whether to return for a 19th season or retire.

Rodgers, a four-time MVP and one-time Super Bowl champion, completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 17 games last season.
