OK, it may be harder waking up at three in the morning to change a diaper than it is to defeat the Chicago Bears.

And there is no minicamp for diaper changing.

But Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he's up for the opportunity to try.

Rodgers discussed his engagement to actress Shailene Woodley and someday being a dad during an Instagram Live Q&A with Zenith Watches CEO Julien Tornare.

"Obviously [getting engaged was] the best thing that's happened to me in the last year," Rodgers said. 

"The next great challenge will be being a father," Rodgers continued. "[I'm in] the age group where a lot of close friends from high school and college are fathers now and have families of their own."

So could he be expecting anytime soon with Woodley? 

"Maybe not in the immediate future but it's definitely something I look forward to," he said. "It's going to be a really fun challenge ... I'll look forward to taking care of another life at some point. ... I've dreamt about what that will be like, I'm really excited about that chapter whenever that comes."

Next comes tying the knot.
