Aaron Rodgers made his way to the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, where he shared his current state of mind with his friend. The QB1 mentioned, “How often do we ever unplug? How often do we even set our phones down for a little bit, read a book instead of watching TV, meditate instead of listening to music? Whatever it might allow us to kind of disconnect from technology and from the world and like give ourselves a gift of rest.”

Aaron Rodgers’ darkness retreat involved him staying in a secluded area around the hills in Oregon. He lived in a partially underground 300  sq. ft dark room with basic amenities like a bed, bathroom, and a mat for meditating purposes. While it may be a regular deal for the quarterback, the NFL fandom was critical of it.

The Multi-time MVP is yet to decide on his football career. The retreat may have given a perspective on the QB1, which would shape his decision on whether to ride off into the sunset or continue his playing journey.

Since Aaron Rodgers came off from Oregon and ended his darkness retreat, many believed the QB1 would reveal his decision. But the retreat helped him build a perspective on what would it be like to continue playing or to call it off. Several entities, including the Packers front, are waiting for him to decide.
