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.

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.
