I guess I should've done a quick google search first! The first link that popped up was this

2005 Press Pass Inscriptions - The Collectors Group

It looks like he signed 10 of these cards that way

Edit: Actually according to Beckett there wasn't any Class of 2005 Aaron Rodgers cards signed with the A-Rod inscription...

It just looks like a sloppier than normal version of his signature. I dont even think he likes the nickname. I dont see where he signed that anywhere on any certified memorabilia.

A-ROD’S HOUSE A sleepy-eyed Aaron Rodgers is sitting on the edge of something great at Cal. This weekend Memorial Stadium won’t be so empty, as 107-year-old rivals Stanford visit Berkeley for the annual Big Game.

I guess his name was A-Rod back in school. I'm glad google got your back. But it betrayed you into thinking it was a one of a kind card as well
