Rodgers has been an outspoken supporter of Kennedy and aligns with his views on vaccinations.
“I believe in medical freedom and informed consent, and I’m voting for Robert Kennedy Jr.,” Rodgers stated during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show earlier in the year.
“Hiking with @AaronRodgers12 and his amazing Achilles,” Kennedy posted along with an image shared on X.

It’s clear why Rodgers would want to return to football. The long-time Packer and future Hall of Famer joined the New York team last year with much excitement and high expectations, only to be sidelined due to injury just four plays into his first game.
