Many remember Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as a first-round selection out of Cal, but few know the story before that.

Rodgers didn't receive many Division I offers out of high school, and elected to attend nearby Butte Community College. After leading his team to a 10-1 record, he was recruited to Cal by Jeff Tedford.

In Thursday night's season opener, Rodgers elected to rep Butte over Cal during his in-game introduction.
