"It was crazy:" For second time in 3 years, Aaron Rodgers makes huge impression on Kenosha brothers
GREEN BAY -- Green Bay Packers Family Night may be over, but its memory lingers for two brothers from Kenosha. It all started with a tweet to Aaron Rodgers, asking for an autograph -- but it turned into something much bigger.
Three years ago, Justin Sirrell and his little brother Tanner had front row seats for Family Night.
"We were sitting front row in the end zone. Aaron Rogers Lambeau-Leaped on us," Justin Sirrell said. "I was very star-struck. I was shaking in my body."
The Lambeau Leap was caught on camera, and you've likely seen the photo if you're a die-hard Packers fan.
The Packers have used it on Facebook, Twitter and on Packers.com.

The expression of joy between Aaron Rodgers and Tanner Sirrell is hard to forget.
On Sunday, July 31st, Tanner and Justin Sirrell took a canvas print of the photo to Lambeau Field for Family Night -- like they have done countless times since the photo was taken -- hoping for one more encounter with their hero.

The brothers waited for Rodgers after Family Night, and when a pickup truck pulled over and the window was rolled down...
"He said, 'I saw it on Twitter today' and he got the Sharpie and signed it," Justin Sirrell said.
