Aaron Rodgers once again shocked everyone with his latest take on the world and delivered yet another controversial statement that is bound to gain some traction. There was nothing regular about Rodgers’ regular weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, as things got philosophical and in-depth after a question was asked by AJ Hawk.
Hawk went off-script and asked the Packers QB a question that wasn’t related to the world of football. “Have you ever been scared of dying?” AJ Hawk asked on the Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers was quick to reply and the reigning Super Bowl MVP shared his experience of fearing death daily and how he overcame the fear through different methods and techniques.
Rodgers stated that his fear of death started during y2k when he was a teenager and with those feelings there was anxiety that he won’t be able to accomplish anything in his life like playing in the NFL, getting married, and raising kids. The Packers QB also stated that he had a fear of missing out on the high-school days of his children and walking his daughter down the aisle.
These were major fears in Aaron Rodgers’ life and the 39-year-old QB overcame all of them through sheer confrontation in addition to the psychedelic drug Ayahuasca that helped him a lot in this journey.
“I definitely had a fear of death,” Rodgers stated on the Pat McAfee Show. “And ayahuasca, and psilocybin actually, really helped me with that and relieved a lot of the stress around the idea of needing to accomplish things before I actually die.”
Aaron Rodgers’ fans fear that he might get benched soon
Aaron Rodgers is an intellectual QB who is highly spiritual. Rodgers’ calmness and composure are considered his strengths. Although the Packers QB has been criticized continuously for his use of psychedelics, it doesn’t stop him from talking about the great benefits that it offers.
However, the QB currently has no support as the Packers have had one of their worst seasons ever this year and A-Rod has completely disappointed all of his fans.
Rodgers was the reigning MVP last season and this season he might get benched for the remaining games. Rodgers is looking like a shell of himself and the Packers’ 5-8 record is witness to that.
There are many rumors making rounds on social media stating that backup QB Jordan Love might replace Rodgers sooner than ever. Aaron Rodgers has created a great legacy in the NFL and it will be heartbreaking to see him go out this way. The Packers are currently 3rd in the division and will be facing the Rams in their next game.
