After what proved to be a particularly stellar performance by Rodgers on the field Sunday, Danica Patrick showed support for her boyfriend with a heartfelt Instagram post, calling herself one “lucky girl.” “While Aaron’s greatness is measured and very very impressive on the field, he should also be known for the great human he is off the field,” Patrick began her post on Monday about the game, during which Rodgers, 35, threw for 429 yards and five touchdowns. Patrick, 37, continued to highlight the Green Bay Packers quarterback’s impressive stats in her caption as well as her appreciation for his “hotness.” Danica Patrick Just ‘Bravely’ Wore Packers Gear Around Chicago to Support Boyfriend Aaron Rodgers “Every weekend there is a group of amazing people that fly from far and wide to support him, some new friends (many are my old friends) but most he has had for decades,” she wrote. “Yesterday was one of those days where there was so much to celebrate beyond just being together. Perfect passer rating. Fastest QB to reach 350 TD in history. Also, a highly ranked game in passing yards and in TDs.” “Plus the hotness!” Patrick added. “Lucky girl.” Danica Patrick.
