VIDEO: Cal Football Team Goes Wild Over New Locker Room Thanks to Aaron Rodgers' Donation
By Michael Luciano
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn't forgotten where he came from, and paid back his alma mater in a huge way. The Cal alum treated Justin Wilcox's Golden Bears to an impressive new locker room, which can only be classed as state of the art.
After transferring from Butte Community College, Rodgers started in Berkeley for two seasons under head coach Jeff Tedford, who is currently at Fresno State. Rodgers threw for 43 touchdowns against just 13 picks during his time in college.
After an up-and-down Sonny Dykes era that produced Jared Goff but also had just one winning season in four years, Wilcox improved the team from 5-7 his first year to 7-6 on the back of a relentless defense.
The Golden Bears needed to have the threads and facilities to match their status within the Pac-12, and Rodgers came through with some sick new facilities.
Wilcox, who was the linebackers coach at Cal when Rodgers was the quarterback, has to be loving the state of his program on and off the field right now.
