Michael Phelps, the legendary Olympic swimmer, is the best of the best. As the most decorated Olympian in history, he is nothing short of an American legend. But something he probably isn’t known for is being Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers’ look alike. A recent photo of Phelps has left fans surprised and amused.
Jim Weber posted the photo of Michael Phelps on Twitter earlier this week, with the caption, “Michael Phelps looks like he’s been doing ayahuasca retreats with Aaron Rodgers.”?Weber’s post did not take long to get the attention of the NFL community, and they quickly got down to their usual business.

While many seem to agree with Weber’s caption, there are some with theories of their own.

Michael Phelps being compared to Ayahuasca using Aaron Rodgers
Weber’s caption comes from Aaron Rodgers’ admission of the same earlier this year. In August this year, Rodgers admitted to using Ayahuasca, a psychedelic drug rumored to have healing properties. Rodgers claims it helps him be a better player, and in his defense, he did win back-to-back MVP awards after his reported indulgence.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I really don’t. I don’t really believe in coincidences at this point. It’s the universe bringing things to happen when they’re supposed to happen. There’s signs and synchronicities all around us at all times if we’re awake enough to see them and to take them in and to listen to our intuition when it’s speaking to us or pounding us in the head saying, ‘Hey, dummy, wake up, this is what you’re supposed to be doing.'”

His interest in alternative medication, and his infamous snub of the COVID-19 vaccination, have been the talk of the town for as long as one can remember. But what is undeniable is his ability to twist an opponent’s defense. His sharp mind has allowed him to time and again read and react to defensive formations, often running circles around defenders trying to stop his plays.
However, this season hasn’t been the best for the Packers‘ offensive maestro. Last week, the New York Giants mounted a comeback victory, the Packers conceding 14 points in the 4th quarter alone. And the Packers’ first game saw the Minnesota Vikings delivering a crushing 23-7 defeat.
