EverythingTop10 is proud to present, part 2 of “The Top 10 Things You Didn’t Know
About Aaron Rodgers!”
#10.
Rodgers said when he was growing up, “I used to draw little plays on note cards and
dream I was Joe Montana throwing passes in the backyard with [my] dad.”
Edward, his father, told “The New York Times” that Aaron gets his “nimble feet” from
his mother, Darla, who was a dancer.
#9.
Although Rodgers lives in Wisconsin, a state that is widely associated with cheese, he
said that he cut dairy products out of his diet.
Since his knee surgery in January 2016, he said he has followed “more of a vegan diet
with some red meat at times and some chicken.”
He also said he has tried to stick more to fruits and vegetables – “mostly vegetables.”
#8.
Whenever he scores a touchdown, he does a championship belt celebration.
He said that the move originated when he was Brett Favre’s backup.
He does the move to motivate players on the practice squad.
#7.
Since 2006, Rodgers has photobombed every Packers captains’ photo taken.
His photobombing skills were featured on a short documentary on NFL.com.
In the film, he said one of his goals was to photobomb Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
on the red carpet.
#6.
He is friends with Brian Baumgartner, who is best known for playing Kevin Malone in
the American adaptation of “The Office.”
Baumgartner attended a game at Lambeau during the 2013 season, and Rodgers attended his
wedding in 2014.
#5.
Rodgers was good friends with Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun.
The two were partners in a restaurant group, 8-Twelve, which are their two jersey numbers.
In 2013, Braun had failed a test for performance-enhancing drugs and was facing suspension.
Rodgers took to Twitter to defend Braun, claiming the truth would win out and Braun would be
vindicated.
He was so sure Braun was telling the truth that he said, “I’d put my salary next
year on it.”
Braun would go on to fail another test and accept a suspension.
Rodgers had to face up to an unfortunate reality, but he didn’t pay out his multi-million-dollar
salary.
After Braun’s admission to using performance-enhancing drugs, the two are no longer connected in
a business relationship.
#4.
Rodgers has a love for music, which led him to become a self-taught guitarist.
He jams with a few teammates, and he even plays in bars in Green Bay every now and then.
The musicians he attempts to emulate are Ben Harper, Keith Urban, and Jack Johnson.
In 2009, he began his own record label, Suspended Sunrise Recordings, with his friend Ryan Zachary,
to give musicians an opportunity to make their dream become a reality.
They signed their first band, The Make, in 2011.
Rodgers once said that he likes the band, One Direction, and that Harry Styles told
him that he was a Packers fan.
#3.
Rodger’s hands were measured at 9.38 inches.
He likes “South Park” and “Happy Gilmore.”
He is a huge “Star Wars” fan, and he wore his Obi-Wan Kenobi robe before the release
of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
He said he saw a UFO once, and he doesn’t believe in abstaining from masturbation before
games.
He said, “I do want to be calm out there, so I’m never opposed to it.
You got to be nice and relaxed out there, so whatever is gonna put me in that state,
man.”
#2.
When Rodgers and Olivia Munn were in a relationship, Munn was asked about their game-day sex habits.
She said there wasn’t a rule, but it just didn’t happen because there were other things
to focus on.
She said after games she would sometimes have sex with him, but it depended on how late
it was.
She also said that she tried to have sex as much as she could.
#1.
His brother Jordan won “The Bachelorette.”
Jordan and Aaron haven’t talked for two years.
He and the rest of his family don’t actually talk to Aaron.
The estrangement is reportedly due to Aaron not going to his grandfather’s funeral,
who he “once called before every game.”
He was also supposed to be a groomsman in a close friend’s wedding, but he bailed
the day before the wedding via text.
There were also reports that Olivia Munn was also a reason for the family’s disconnect.
Jordan accused Munn of not allowing Aaron to spend time with his family.
According to ET Online, “The family was told they were no longer welcome in Green
Bay.
If dad [Edward] wants to attend a game now, he buys tickets on StubHub or goes through
another player’s family.”
His father claimed that fame changed him.
