Packers quarterback could be among many NFL players making a statement during the national anthem on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers reached a career milestone against the Atlanta Falcons by becoming the fastest to 300 touchdown passes. 

Rodgers got to the mark in 144 games and 4,742 attempts. On the all-time career touchdowns list, Rodgers is looking directly up at three active players - Ben Roethlisbeger, Philip Rivers and Eli Manning.

Rodgers also has the best touchdown-interception ratio and passer rating in a career: 

As always, a record number sets off an all-time ranking of quarterbacks. 

Of course there is always the New England Patriots fan who brings up Tom Brady's Super Bowl rings.

The most amazing part of the 300th touchdown is that, after all the surgical strikes and pinpoint Hail Marys in Rodgers' career, it came on a 1-yard shovel pass to Ty Montgomery.

That's just in case you haven't committed to memory that his first touchdown pass went to Greg Jennings on Nov. 29, 2007 at Cowboys Stadium when the young quarterback subbed in for an injured Brett Favre.

Or that No. 100 was caught by James Jones at the Falcons' old stadium on Oct. 9, 2011. 

Or that No. 200 came at home to Davante Adams on Oct. 2, 2014.
