Aaron Rodgers Reveals the Inception of His Bromance With Pat McAfee
Follow Us
It feels like Aaron Rodgers is a weekly fixture for ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. The quarterback seems so naturally impromptu during the show since the two share a deep connection. And the friendship between the two seems unbreakable. Peyton, obviously curious how the two hot so close, asked the same to the Green Bay Packers QB during the MNF ‘Manningcast’.
Rodgers replied with an interesting anecdote that dates back to 2019 and took place at a golf tournament in the Bahamas. Rodgers met McAfee, the former Indianapolis Colts punter, also the former teammate of Peyton Manning himself, during that event.

“We had a late drop-out and my buddy, A. J. Hawk, said, ‘You should get Pat McAfee,'” Rodgers said of Hawk, who was his Packers teammate for nine seasons.

“So I reached out to Pat, and Pat was actually on a standup comedy tour. He came off the tour, joined our team and I went to him when he got there — I had never met him, I introduced myself and said, ‘Hey, when I introduce you at the welcome dinner, do you mind doing a couple of minutes of standup?’ He goes, ‘Naw I’m not doing that.'”
Rodgers then revealed he was putting McAfee on the spot but was amazed to see his next move.

“Pat walks up on stage, takes the mic out of my hands, and does 10 minutes of standup, and I knew from that point forward we would be good friends. And I always appreciate that about him,” Rodgers said.
That could be put as the epitome of a great friendship. The two share the screen probably every week in the WWE commentator’s podcast show. And that is the place where the duo shares their point of view on the most heated topics in the NFL.
