"Weird hippy" Aaron Rodgers says he's voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024 Presidential Elections
Aaron Rodgers is having tons of free time during the 2023 NFL season, as the quarterback remains out of action due to a torn Achille suffered in Week 1. Although he has vowed to beat the odds and return to play this season, it's unlikely he'll be able to dress up for the New York Jets in 2023.
In another one of his Tuesday appearances on Pat McAfee's show, the quarterback was discussing traits needed to be a good teammate in the locker room and the need for an Alpha mentality, but he ended up changing course a little bit and revealed who he'll be voting for in the 2024 Presidential Election:
"You gotta have a little sense of humor, be okay with pranking people. Interesting to see the personalities of all the guys across the league because everybody's different. I'm a weird hippie who also loves his teammates, and feels like I can lead and inspire just about anybody from any walk of life.
"There are guys like Peyton, and Eli who have the bloodlines, a lineage, the dad jokes, the ability to relate to anybody, big pranksters. Everybody's got their own personalities. It's just how you can relate to your teammates. I believe in medical freedom, informed consent, and I'm voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr."
Could Aaron Rodgers still return in 2023?
In a normal recovery process, the answer would be a resounding "no," with Aaron Rodgers only available for return when the OTAs start in May.
There's absolutely no point for the Jets to force things if the team is out of the playoff picture when December arrives. Obviously, after years of suffering with the position, New York fans would love to see him, but it's pointless to do so if there's nothing to play for.
Aaron Rodgers signed a new three-year contract with the New York Jets worth $112,5 million, meaning that he's tied to the team until the 2025 season, where he's expected to retire soon after.
He tore his Achilles after an offseason full of hope and after just four snaps when the games began. It was one of the most heartbreaking things of the decade to happen in the NFL. He appeared in games against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs throwing the ball on the field, albeit with his movements limited.
