NFL analyst has two questions ahead of Aaron Rodgers’ potential political career
Aaron Rodgers is one of the most famous names in football. After roughly 15 years of excellence, he has built up a wealth of name recognition. As such, he has already filled one major requirement for a political career.
Mike Florio believes a potential career in the space might be coming for the quarterback. On Monday's edition of "Pro Football Talk," he expressed a desire to ask the quarterback two questions point-blank to determine his fitness for such a career.
Mike Florio: "[00:07:16] "Those two questions give us an idea of what's really going on in this guy's brain because I don't care about his football career at this point. He has a year or two left. This guy is positioning himself, I believe, for a career in politics. ... I've seen enough flashes to make me concerned," Florio stated.
"Do you believe 9/11 was an inside job by the government? Do you believe Sandy Hook was an inside job by the government? If the answer to both of those truthfully was yes, I think that would tell a lot of us everything that we need to know," he said. [00:07:49]," he said.[33.4] PFT
Of course, Rodgers famously has been named in stories questioning the veracity of both tragedies in recent American history. Deshone Kizer has accused the quarterback of asking if he "believed in 9/11." Then, another report by CNN via NBC Sports claimed he had privately doubted the truthfulness behind the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.
Aaron Rodgers' previous RFK Jr. saga potentially tips post-NFL intentions
The biggest public indication of a desire for the quarterback's plans for the future may have come earlier this offseason. Hopeful presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. was allegedly interested in the New York Jets quarterback as a potential running mate in March, per NBC New York.
However, after several weeks of questions, Rodgers allegedly backed out of the running. Nicole Shanahan took his place at Robert Kennedy Jr.'s side. When asked about why he backed out, Rodgers claimed he desired to continue playing football.
However, his ability to continue playing won't hold out forever. When the league turns its back on Rodgers, the option for politics is lined up to be on the table. Will Aaron Rodgers replace a playbook and a competition on the gridiron for a competition on the ballot?
