Aaron Rodgers Takes Pride in Encouraging Other Players to Be “Unapologetically Themselves” With His Candid Interviews at the Pat McAfee Show

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has often appeared on talk shows or podcasts. Moreover, he is frequently seen on the Pat McAfee show, where one can see the real him. Not many players are capable of showing their true side in front of the camera. However, Aaron Rodgers isn’t one of them, and he is proud of it.

He is one of the best players to ever play the game. Despite that, he doesn’t care what people assume about him. Recently, during his appearance on a podcast, Rodgers urged other players to be themselves.

Rodgers said, “If I can do anything today and through go on the Pat McAfee Show and some of the interviews I’ve done last couple years is to continue to give out a permission slip for people to be unapologetically themselves and it’s not the norm I would say all the time in professional sports.”

He added, “There’s uh ideas out there about just shut up and dribble or shut up and stay on the field or just kind of keep your opinions to yourself just talk to me about football entertain me and that’s all I want but there’s also narratives out there for all of us that that can run sometimes and it’s nice to be able to take back some of the narrative and let people kind of see beyond the veil into who I am what I’m about…”

Aaron Rodgers is always quite vocal about his views. It seems he doesn’t let the world get to his head. Could this be the reason for Rodgers’ prolonged success? It very well could be.
