"What a nice guy!" Aaron Rodgers buys pizza, matches donations during autograph signing at Lambeau

GREEN BAY -- Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers on Monday evening, December 12th signed autographs at the Lambeau Field Atrium for donations to the Salvation Army -- and he didn't stop there.

Rodgers pledged a dollar-for-dollar match -- meaning he wasn't just giving his time, but his money too.

Even at a suggested donation of $100, fans said it was well worth it.

The signing was limited to the first 200 people in line, and some started staking out their spot early Monday morning -- 2:30 a.m. for a couple from Appleton. They were the very first to show up.

"Absolutely worth it.  I mean, what a nice guy.  He came out here and bought pizza for everyone in line, wishing everybody holiday greetings. It was just awesome," Mark Stelzl said.

With 200 people at $100 per autograph, that's $20,000.  But Rodgers himself pledged to match the total from Monday night alone, which could mean $40,000 for the Salvation Army."

And how about a triple option?

His Packers teammates have also been signing for the Salvation Army, and Rodgers has committed to matching their totals too.

"We've already raised nearly $10,000 through autograph signings from other Packers players," Major Bob Mueller with the Salvation Army of Brown County said.

All the money raised will go towards families, seniors and the homeless in the Green Bay area.
