Aaron Rodgers never fails to surprise us. The QB has always been a magnet for news and opinions, although the talent that he possesses has always been undeniable after crafting one of the greatest legacies in the sport. But while his prowess on the football field is well known, Panthers WR Adam Thielen revealed an ‘unbelievable’ lesser-known talent that Rodgers possesses. 

While his work on the football field and some of his off-field antics have driven most of the news surrounding him, Rodgers has always been one of the greatest athletes in the sport. But in an episode of the Rich Eisen Show, Thielen began to detail Rodger’s skills on the 12-hole course, which even puts professionals to sleep.

“I think you got Case Keenum. You got Rodgers, who is the best putter I’ve ever seen, whether that’s a pro golfer or not really, and so he kind of keeps himself in that conversation because of that,” he said.

Thielen, himself, is a well-experienced golfer and even proclaimed himself as the best golfer presently in the NFL. As he detailed stories of Rodgers’ unbelievable prowess on the greens, the WR was audibly in awe of the talent that the QB has. 

“It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievable. The first time I saw it, you know, I was like, all right…  Every single time I play with ‘em, it’s like you’re in awe of how many putts he makes and how confident he is,” he added.

But while Thielen’s claims might sound ridiculous, Aaron Rodgers has always backed up his skills on the golf course.

He would then return in 2022, paired alongside his nemesis Tom Brady, and once again put his skills to the test, defeating the rising QB pair of Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
