HANDICAPS: Just how good are your favorite celebrities and athletes?
Hawk played nine of his 11 NFL seasons with the Packers after Green Bay made him the No. 5 pick in 2006. He was part of the team’s Super Bowl championship in 2010 and can be found today as a regular host on the “The Pat McAfee Show,” where Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers makes regular appearances.
Kukoč, a recent inductee in the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent the final four seasons of his NBA career in Milwaukee from 2002-06. He made his name with the Bulls and played a prominent part in the narrative of acclaimed documentary “The Last Dance.” Wait, is that another Aaron Rodgers reference we just made?
