Packers' Hundley confident he can lead team in Rodgers' absence

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Hundley is unfazed by the gigantic shoes he needs to fill.

Hundley is now the Packers' starting quarterback after Aaron Rodgers broke is collarbone during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Thrust into the starter's role, Hundley said he's been waiting for this moment forever.

"I've been doing this my whole life," Hundley said via ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "Aaron's a Hall of Famer, and I want to be a Hall of Famer one day. I will lead this team. We're all going to have fun, we're all going to go out there and play football. It's still football at the end of the day, and our goals are still in front of us."

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy readily admitted that his expectations are lower with Hundley in, however.

"He clearly won't carry the responsibility into the game that Aaron Rodgers carries into it; I think that's obvious," McCarthy said. "I'd be an idiot if I asked him to do that. But also, I think that's really for (all) the other young guys who are playing. We don't ask all our younger players to do all the things that our veteran players do because they don't have the experience."

It's now on Hundley to keep the Packers afloat while Rodgers remains sidelined.
