Rodgers' tenure with the Packers started in the most humbling way ... Projected as one of the top picks, Rodgers dropped after his hometown San Francisco 49ers selected Utah quarterback Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall selection. For more than four hours, Rodgers sat in the green room as TV cameras captured his humiliation for a national audience. By early 2005, then-quarterback Brett Favre already had hinted at retirement. Rodgers would be the heir apparent, but it would take three years before earning the starting job. For the past year and a half, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been at the center of several social media roasts.

"It’s been interesting to hear from so many different guys across the league, men and women that I know or that I don’t know ask questions about it," Rodgers said. "People from my past acquaintances, friends, close friends who didn’t understand and wanted to learn more about it and then teammates. A lot of teammates pulled me aside and wanted to learn about it." Rodgers said after the NFL Honors he did "all my hippy stuff" before deciding to ultimately change up the hair. The stakes are high this year, and our 2024 coverage could use continued support. If circumstances have changed since you last contributed, we hope you’ll consider contributing to HuffPost once more.

It sounds as if he said a staggering number of bizarre things on the podcast, which is only available behind a paywall. In other words, we may have barely touched on all the absurdities living inside Rodgers' brain — and that's saying something, considering how frequently he's gained attention for dumb comments. However, reality has never seemed to deter Rodgers from speaking, as he spews a disproven conspiracy theory that Dr. Anthony Fauci has ties to Moderna and demands people "do even a smidge of research."

Breakthrough performance vs. Falcons in 2010 playoffs

Aaron Rodgers, already famous after nearly two decades as an NFL quarterback, is drawing a new kind of notoriety for peddling conspiracy theories. As one of the most famous NFL players in the past decade, it’s understandable why fans want to know about Aaron Rodgers’ girlfriends have been over the years. The star quarterback has had quite the collection of high-profile relationships in the past. As expected, hundreds of NFL fans poked fun at Aaron's hair on social media while simultaneously questioning his unorthodox decision. "What the HELL is going on with Aaron Rodgers's hair?" one person asked on Twitter. Another added that they saw "someone say Aaron Rodgers's hair looks like a Rockhopper penguin and I cannot unsee."

Aaron Rodgers recently explained the reason for his new haircut.

Rodgers was also name-dropped by ESPN sideline reporter Cassidy Hubbarth during her postgame interview with Heat star Jimmy Butler as she likened an outlet pass Kevin Love had to Butler to a Rodgers throw. After undergoing surgery two days after the injury with a "speed bridge" technique that aimed to reduce rehabilitation time, Rodgers was able to rejoin the Jets for voluntary offseason workouts in April. A lot of time passed during the Packers' first-round playoff bye, at least if you're judging time's passage by the length of Aaron Rodgers' hair. But experts told PolitiFact the claim that AZT killed hundreds of thousands of people was baseless. The false claim that AZT, rather than AIDS, killed hundreds of thousands of people emerged during the 1980s AIDS crisis, an expert told PolitiFact.

The tight-haired, clean-cut Rodgers is now officially a thing of the past. Rodgers starts his career by looking like a dude who hangs out at his local Barnes & Noble, scouring the aisles of the manga section. In recent seasons when he attended games, Rodgers was often courtside next to the Edens family. Wes Edens is one of the Bucks' primary owners and his daughter, Mallory, is reportedly dating Rodgers. Rodgers was such a fan of the Bucks that he bought a small stake in the franchise in 2018, becoming the first active NFL player to become an NBA owner. Prior to arriving in New York, Rodgers played 18 seasons for the Green Bay Packers while earning a Super Bowl championship and four MVP titles.

That broke the franchise record previously held by Favre, who had 508 career touchdown passes but 442 with the Packers. Despite playing well in the Packers' overtime victory against the New England Patriots, fans couldn't get over the fact that Aaron Rodgers had a bad hair day. When the star quarterback first took off his helmet, viewers noticed his strange hairdo; it appeared that Aaron shaved his head but kept two strands of hair behind his ears. "The blueprint, the game plan was made in the '80s," he claimed during an appearance on the podcast Look Into It back in February. "Create a pandemic, you know, with a virus that's going wild, right? Fauci was given over $350 million to research this, to come up with drugs — new or repurposed — to handle the AIDS pandemic. And all they came up with was AZT."

"In 3-5yrs everything Rodgers is saying will be considered fact and all the non-thinkers, unwilling to deviate from what TV tells them, will deny calling Rodgers a conspiracy theorist. I've seen this one before..." said another. While the majority of people online are critical of Rodgers' theories, there are a select few who support his thinking. He also claimed that Fauci had a "stake in the Moderna vaccine," though he offered no evidence to support this claim or any other claims he made during the episode.

Constant railing against the media, the government, etc.

If they make it 5 in a row, they’ll be 9-8 and a team very few squads would want to face in the first round of the playoffs. @AaronRodgers12 cut his hair… we might as well just give the packers the Lombardi now. Rodgers led his Green Bay Packers to a convincing win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 on Sunday to improve to 8-8.

Maybe Rodgers, a California boy, will look like he's ready to go surfing if he wins against the Buccaneers and has another 14 days until the Super Bowl is played. That's the thing about Rodgers, though — he keeps both defenses and hair followers on their toes. The likely 2020 NFL MVP threw for 296 yards and two touchdowns, completing 23 of his 36 passes and letting a three-headed rushing attack aid him in a straightforward win.

The Packers (7-7-1) and Bears (8-7) met in a de facto NFC North championship game at Soldier Field, and it came down to completing three fourth-down plays in the final minute to pull off a dramatic victory. Facing a fourth-and-8 from the Bears' 48-yard line, Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for a game-winning touchdown that clinched the division title. And when it comes to Rodgers, the NFL world always loves to react to whatever things he’s done, whether it’s big or small. In this case, there were a lot of opinions about the haircut, including some who think he went with a Peaky Blinders look to start the season. During his appearance on the "Aubrey Marcus Podcast," Rodgers explained how he first consumed ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic drug, during a trip to Peru in the 2020 offseason. He also recently told Peter King on his podcast that he went on another ayahuasca retreat before this season.

That look is certainly a departure from Rodgers' look last season, when he grew his hair out for a John Wick costume and simply never cut it following Halloween. Indeed, Rodgers kept the look well into the offseason, only changing his style up just before the start of the season. If Rodgers were a hockey player, he wouldn't touch the hair or beard throughout the playoffs. By the Stanley Cup, the quickest hair-growers of the bunch have beards as full as James Harden's.

My hot football take of the day is that Aaron Rodgers really should not have done that to his hair. The beard would stick around, albeit in a trimmed fashion, for the start of the 2020 season. As the 2019 season comes to a close, Rodgers once again embraces the full beard look, with the follicles reaching their final form entering the playoffs. It's large and bushy and he looks like he's the frontman for a Mumford & Sons cover band.

Following the team's 2022 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, many targeted the four-time NFL MVP with comments on his performance and teased him over his controversial remarks about the COVID-19 vaccine. A week after collecting his first NFL postseason victory — a triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles — Rodgers had a breakthrough performance in a playoff game for the ages. Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as the Packers routed the NFC's top seed, 48-21, in the highest-scoring playoff game in Packers history. The Packers would win three road playoff games — including defeating the rival Chicago Bears in the NFC championship game — to reach Super Bowl 45. At the 11th annual NFL Honors ceremony, Rodgers won his fourth MVP award (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021), which is the second-most in NFL history behind Peyton Manning's five. Rodgers also broke a tie at three MVP awards with Tom Brady, Jim Brown, Brett Favre and Johnny Unitas.

OK, a lot of fans might be more concerned about his play in this Super Bowl-or-bust season. Rodgers said on Tuesday his offseason experiences have made "for some interesting cafeteria conversations." Rodgers told McAfee that after the awards show, in which he accepted his fourth MVP, when he saw a photo of himself he said "Whoo, it might be time." Aaron Rodgers has sported a number of different looks in recent years, and the Green Bay Packers star made yet another change to his appearance ahead of Week 3.
