Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had minor knee surgery after the 2015 season, but it looks like he has made a speedy recovery from last month's procedure.

On Tuesday, Rodgers was photographed playing with professional golfer Jerry Kelly at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament.

Via the official PGA TOUR Twitter account:

Rodgers is widely recognized as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but few know that he is also a skilled golfer. Golf Digest recently ranked the top 100 pro athletes by their golfing abilities, and he placed 39th on the list with a handicap of 5.5 -- six spots behind his Packers teammate, kicker Mason Crosby (4.3 handicap).

The fact that Rodgers is already on the golf course should be an assuring sign for Packers fans hoping to see him at full strength in 2016.
