What is friendship without a little friendly banter? While Aaron Rodgers continues his usual offseason workout cycle for his debut with the New York Jets, it seems like he still hasn’t forgotten his best friend and teammate from the Green Bay Packers. The 4X MVP is currently at the Proactive Sports Performance Center in California, where he is undergoing a training program along with other athletes from the NFL and NBA. The training goes on for around six to seven weeks and consists of various workout activities. 

Most recently, Aaron Rodgers shared a snap of himself working out, which was originally posted by the Center on their Instagram page. The QB went on to tag his ex-Packers teammate on the story as well. So what did his ex-Packers best friend have to say about Rodgers’ workout?

In the story uploaded by the OT, we see him repost his ex-teammates story where he was tagged. Bakhtiari event went on to write in the story, “Deepfakes are getting scary good these days..” as it seems that he’s trying to point out that the event posted did not happen at all. Aaron Rodgers and Bakhtiari are known to engage in friendly banter and trolling now and then, so it’s not a surprise to see him make such a statement about his exiled Packers best friend.

Furthermore, the response from Bakhtiari seems to be a continuation of their previous friendly banter, when Rodgers tried to hilariously roast the Packers OT on social media.

Just a few hours before this, we saw the duo go back and forth in a friendly banter on Instagram. The Jets’ QB shared a story posing with other athletes attending the Proactive Fitness Summer Camp while tagging Bakhtiari and questioning his whereabouts. This led to the OT hilariously shutting down A-Rod by stating in a story that he was “Too busy training and not posing for a photo.” The comeback from Bakhtiari caught Rodgers’ attention, who then went on to share another story while stating, “Probably lying around getting fat”, in an attempt to try roasting his ex-Packers teammate once again.

While this may not be the last of the friendly banter between A-Rod and Bakhtiari, fans will definitely be waiting in anticipation to see the two go head-on against each other in the upcoming season of the league.
