Rodgers is 2011 AP Male Athlete of Year in US

(AP) ? Aaron Rodgers is the 2011 Male Athlete of the Year chosen by members of The Associated Press in the United States after his MVP performance in the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl victory in February and his stellar play during the team's long unbeaten run this season.

Rodgers received 112 votes out of the 212 ballots submitted from U.S. news organizations that make up the AP's membership. Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander finished second with 50 votes, followed by tennis standout Novak Djokovic, Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton and NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

Rodgers is one of three quarterbacks to receive the honor in the past five years. The New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees won last year and the New England Patriots' Tom Brady won in 2007.
