Jordan Rodgers: 5 Things You Need to Know About the Vanderbilt QB

Jordan Rodgers is the brother of NFL MVP and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and although he's not the prospect his brother was, he has the talent to find a job in the professional ranks. 

He has SEC experience and significantly improved his statistics from 2011 to 2012. 

Here are five things you need to now about the Vanderbilt signal-caller.

Hometown: Chico, Calif.

High School: Pleasant Valley

Major: Human and organizational development

After his time at Pleasant Valley High, Rodgers, like his brother, attended Butte Community College.

He then enrolled at Vanderbilt and was the starting quarterback for two seasons. Rodgers graduated in December of 2012.

Statistics

2011: 13 games, 50 percent completion percentage, 1,524 yards, 9 touchdowns, 10 interceptions. 

2012: 12 games, 59.9 percent completion percentage, 2,539 yards, 15 touchdowns, 5 picks. 

Rodgers was strikingly better as a senior than he was as a junior. He doesn't have his brother's arm, but his arm isn't a liability. 

He completed 19 of 28 passes for 297 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss to the Florida Gators in 2011, but he never threw for three scores in a game during his time at Vanderbilt.
