Aaron Rodgers has been holding the NFL world hostage concerning his future with the league. While many would’ve expected the QB to end his career in the only franchise he’s played for, the circumstances are rather conflicting. As a veteran quarterback, it’s understandable why the 4x MVP’s decision is a huge part of the discourse online. However, it’s not just his prowess on the field that makes him a figure of interest.

A-Rod, who is known for his coy but bluntly honest answers, is as unconventional as can be. Championing holistic habits, every stereotype that we associate with professional athletes in the NFL is thrown out the window in Rodgers’ case. Most recently, the QB has been stumped by the question of whether he wants to continue his playing career or not. But before he could reveal what he planned on doing, A-Rod headed to a ‘darkness retreat.’ After his emergence from isolation, the QB made several honest admissions, including how he’s dealing with family issues. Here’s what he said.

Aaron Rodgers has good reasons for remaining coy

Aaron Rodgers is one of the few who speak with intention. Every word that he utters is probably thought through on multiple levels. Appearing on the ‘Aubrey Marcus Podcast,’ he looked like his usual calm self. However, behind his easygoing demeanor is a firmly planted individual who won’t be pressured into making a decision until he is ready.

And I didn’t want to work through problems with my family in the public sphere, as unfortunately, they did at times.” Rodgers’ perspective is understandable, given his image as a high-profile athlete with a considerable following. At the same time, the impatience from the NFL world isn’t odd.
