Aaron Rodgers has taken the NFL by surprise this season. And for multiple reasons. Right back in September, just before the season opener, Rodgers got hit with a toe injury. Fast forward to the NY Jets‘ season opener, and bam! The star QB faces an ACL tear, and it seemed like game over for him this season. However, lately, Rodgers is pulling off a shocker. He’s been showing up at MetLife Stadium, not just as a spectator, but guess what? He’s out there on the field, slinging passes during warm-ups—ditched the crutches and all!

Now, Rodgers has been vocal about his journey to recovery, even giving props to his medical squad for backing him up. But word on the street is, Rodgers’ surgeon isn’t just any old doctor. Rumor has it, this surgeon has some major league connections in football and even in the glitzy showbiz world.

Aaron Rodgers and his ace surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, have a backstory that reads like a screenplay. It all starts with a connection to the NFL legend, Tom Brady. Now, here’s the kicker: Dr. ElAttrache isn’t just any doctor. He’s the go-to guy for fixing up football greats like Brady, healing his knee back in ’08 and even patching up his hand in 2018. That’s some MVP-level doctoring, right there.

But wait, it gets even more Hollywood: Dr. ElAttrache, aka the ‘mystery doctor’ these days, isn’t just making headlines in the NFL. He’s got Tinseltown ties too. Get this—his brother-in-law is none other than the Philadelphia Eagles‘ super fan, Sylvester Stallone, aka Rocky Balboa himself. And here’s the twist: Dr. ElAttrache and Stallone are connected through marriage. Stallone’s hitched to Jennifer, who happens to be Dr. ElAttrache’s sister-in-law, while the good doctor is married to Tricia.
