Aaron Rodgers will go down in history as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. While best known for being the most accurate passer in history, people often overlook how intelligent he is. His mastery of the game of football is legendary. At the same time, there is a strong probability Rodgers will go down in history as one of the craziest people to ever play in the NFL. That might seem like an exaggeration until you start hearing stories about him. Some he’s openly volunteered, like taking psychedelic drugs in the off-season to “open his mind.” There is the fact he’s dating a self-proclaimed witch. He tapes potato chips to his heels to ensure he stays on his toes.
The eccentricities run deep. Former Green Bay Packers backup quarterback DeShone Kizer found that out the hard way. He arrived on the team back in 2018 after a failed stint with the Cleveland Browns. Not wanting to get off on the wrong foot, he made an effort to connect with Rodgers. He quickly learned the extent of the rabbit hole he jumped down. Kizer told some wild stories on The Breneman Show.
Aaron Rodgers will probably end up running his own cult after football.
Yes, that’s a joke, but it also isn’t. After hearing stories like that, would you be at all surprised? Inner earth, the moon landing, 9/11, Roswell, and the JFK assassination. It’s a safe bet Rodgers falls on the opposite side of every one of those events. While he isn’t the only person in the world to believe conspiracy theories, he is probably one of the most extreme. Kizer said it best during the interview. The guy pushes himself to extremes on and off the field. It’s what makes him a great quarterback and an absolutely bonkers human being in most other aspects.
People are curious about what life after football holds for him. He turns 39 on December 2nd and is in the midst of arguably his worst season. The Packers are 4-8, with their Super Bowl window slowly closing. Many people are eager to see him finally crash and burn. It’s almost poetic that his legacy may become as murky as the man he replaced in Brett Favre. Further proof that idolizing athletes can be a dangerous proposition without enough information.
