This NFL Player Confirms He Turned down Opportunity to Become RFK Jr.’s VP

The rumors that Aaron Rodgers had been legitimately offered the opportunity to retire and become Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate were true.

Speaking to reporters at the Jets facility on Tuesday, Rodgers was asked how serious the talks between him and RFK Jr. were regarding him becoming the Independent candidate’s vice presidential selection.

As Rodgers explained, it was quite serious.

“I love Bobby,” Rodgers said. “We had a couple of really nice conversations. But there were really two options — retire and be his VP or keep playing. And I wanna keep playing.”
