The Green Bay Packers decided to move on from Aaron Rodgers just over a year ago. In fact, just days before the 2023 NFL Draft the Packers ushered in a whole new era in Green Bay by sending Rodgers to the New York Jets.
While Rodgers only played four snaps last season before suffering a season ending Achilles injury, he has continued to make headlines. Now he’s confirmed a major rumor that went viral this off-season.
Former Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodger Confirms Huge Rumor
According to Journalist Sean Keeley:
Aaron Rodgers humblebragged his way through being asked by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his vice-presidential running mate, saying that although he is but a simple football player, he could have done it.
“That’s why I was interested when Bobby came to me and said, ‘Would you think about being my running mate?’ And I said, ‘Are you serious? I’m a fucking football player.’ But I love this country, and I’d love to be a part of bringing it back to what she used to be,” said Rodgers. “I thought about it. I definitely thought about it because I love Bobby, and I just wanted to hear what he had to say about it.”
“There’s been a lot of great people in history who are super patriotic, who’ve questioned their government, and I think that’s what I’ve done since I was a kid,” said Rodgers without any hint of irony.

According to multiple sources:
It would’ve been better than an episode of “Veep” … sadly, Vice President Aaron Rodgers won’t be coming to a poll near you — Robert F. Kennedy has picked his running mate, and it’s NOT the 4-time NFL MVP! During a campaign event in Oakland on Tuesday, RFK Jr. announced Northern California-based attorney Nicole Shanahan, 38, would anchor the Independent’s ticket.Of course, RFK Jr. was considering two other high-profile options … including 40-year-old Rodgers, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, who the 70-year-old confirmed was near the “top” of his shortlist. Mike Rowe and Jesse Ventura were also considered. Ultimately, Robert chose to go in another direction, and it’s not a shocker. Kennedy’s been linked to Shanahan, who was once married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, since earlier this year when she made a massive $4 million donation to fund, in part, a 30-second Super Bowl ad promoting the environmental attorney’s campaign.
