It was a successful off-season for the back-to-back MVP, and clearly, he is enjoying the moment after bagging a lucrative contract with the franchise. He is destined to earn $50 million on average per year, making him the highest-paid quarterback entering the 2022 season. Well, this time, the 38-year-old tried impersonating Nicolas Cage’s character in “Con Air,” Cameron Poe.

His resemblance to the character was just top-notch by donning a white tank top and blue jeans with a small backpack in his right hand. His long hair and short beard made it more alike. “Have you ever seen somebody more confident and comfortable walking in the front of training camp as a back-to-back MVP?” McAfee got pumped to ask questions on his show.

“Today somebody showed up, and that is going to go down as one of the greatest arrivals in the history of the NFL…when this motherf*cker shows up, like Nick Cage, you can’t help but just be incredible. Look at this f*cking guy,” McAfee said, looking at Rodgers’ new get-up. Moreover, he also emphasized Rodgers’ new tattoo and the massive deal he signed this off-season.

Speaking about the bag he was carrying, McAfee asked, “What do you think the message is being conveyed when he puts that backpack down?” The former Colts punt speculated that Rodgers wants to get rid of everything that has happened in the off-season by dropping the pack somewhere else. Regardless, it was the coolest entry ever.
Who were the other celebrities like Aaron Rodgers to make surprise entries?
Well, it was not the first time in the NFL that players arrived in unimaginable ways. Some of them even went on to use air balloons and semi-trucks to make remarkable entries. Back in 2019, Antonio Brown arrived in a hot-air balloon during his first year with the Raiders. He landed in Napa with a new slogan, “Float like a butterfly, sting like AB”.
Similarly, Fullback Anthony Sherman arrived in the most fashionable way possible, setting up the bars high. In 2018, he reported to the training camp in a red, white, and blue colored fancy outfit like he was going to attend a 4th of July BBQ.
