‘People Like to Sugarcoat Sh*t’ – Kyler Murray in Awe of Aaron Rodgers’ Honesty in Packers Press Conference

After months of staying away from the limelight, Aaron Rodgers finally opened up about his relationship with the Green Bay Packers. Especially, his relationship with the team’s front office. 

Rodgers reportedly considered retiring because of his strained relationship with the team’s management. Now back, the Packers QB though has placed certain demands which give him the power to decide his future. 

In a bold and fearless manner, Aaron Rodgers called out the Green Bay Packers front office for the treatment dished out to him and several veterans in the past. Saying that he’d not be a “lame duck quarterback” after an MVP season in 2020, the quarterback showed that he isn’t afraid to step up for himself and his teammates when needed.

This gesture won Aaron Rodgers a lot of plaudits. And among them is Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
