Upon hearing that, the 38-year-old asked if he compared him to Captain Clutch because Rodgers is almost 40 and not married. They both chuckled at that. The host explained, “Derek Jeter certainly did have a notable bachelorhood.”
“We’re talking about two guys who were so like, focused in a very controlled and obnoxious way.” Well, there are a handful of parallels between the 8x Pro Bowl quarterback and 14x All-Star baseball star.
What similarities do Aaron Rodgers and Derek Jeter possess?
Derek Jeter is the most adored player. Not only has he won five World Series titles, but he also managed to keep himself away from scandals. Despite becoming the biggest name in baseball, nothing tarnished the Yankees’ No. 2 reputation.
