The sports world is littered with comparisons, and that holds especially true for football. However, the recent comparison of Aaron Rodgers to the American-French actor Timothée Chalamet has raised some eyebrows. But this NFL personality is adamant in the comparison!

Chalamet recently appeared in the international blockbuster film ‘Dune: Part Two’. The NFL analyst Kyle Brandt finds points of comparison between Chalamet’s character Paul Atreides and the New York Jets QB’s chances of winning the Super Bowl.

‘Dune: Part Two’ has taken over the imagination of people worldwide and that holds for Brandt as well. While co-hosting the show ‘Good Morning Football’, Brandt had a creative way of ascertaining the chances of the Jets winning the Super Bowl this season. Brandt at first goes on length explaining the character of Chalamet in the film.

The film is based on Frank Herbert’s novel ‘Dune’ in 1965. Timothee’s character Atreides transforms into Muad’dib a prophetical being capable of inhumanly difficult feats. And the 2011 Super Bowl winner will have to achieve similar feats, according to the 46-year-old Brandt.

“The Jets like getting into a wild card game all right, like just like the Super Bowl! You’re in the AFC, you’re in the AFC East. If Rodgers can go up there with his two hooks and his surgically repaired Achilles,” said Brandt. He compares Atreides’ last feat of passage as he tames the local giant sandworm. And Brandt figuratively wants Rodgers despite his injuries and age to do the same for the Jets.

“Rodgers can go up on the Dune on top of MetLife and hook and hook and ride the sandworm all over New Jersey. That’s a wild card game, just win a playoff game for the New York Jets you’re riding the sandworm you are the Muad’dib!”, said Brandt. But is such a feat possible for the veteran QB?

Is Aaron Rodgers the Muad’dib for the Jets?

He compares that merely taking the Jets to the playoffs will be like getting on the giant sandworm for Rodgers. Winning one is comparable to Chalamet’s character riding the giant sandworm. “But the Super Bowl sure I mean that’s doing three. I guess I haven’t even gotten there yet”, said Brandt. He has completely discounted the fact that if the 10X Pro Bowler could even take the Jets to the Super Bowl.

However, Rodgers is not too far when it comes to achieving things that seemed impossible. From his miraculous recovery and rehabilitation after the Achilles injury. The 4X MVP has been doing things nobody thought could be possible. He went from a nobody high school athlete with no big colleges interested in him to a highly acclaimed QB. He performed exceptionally well at his community college, and big schools came rushing for him. If anybody can achieve the impossible, it’s Rodgers!
