Despite falling defeated to the Buccaneers in the NFC championship game, which would bring full attention to Tampa Bay, the spotlight was on the Packers, especially in Aaron Rodgers, after a statement that was interpreted as goodbye anticipated. However, the QB himself has come out to put things in order.
In an interview with expat Pat McAfee on his YouTube channel, Rodgers indicated that after a campaign like the one in 2020 (4,299 yards, 48 touchdown passes, and five interceptions) he intends to stay in the NFL.
“Obviously after the week I had, potentially winning the MVP and with a good turnout, nor I think there are reasons not to return, but there are no absolutes in business“, he said.
Likewise, the California graduate assured that his words cannot be interpreted as a retirement announcement and dismissed all the rumors that put him out of the NFL.
“I don’t feel like I said something that I didn’t mention before. I think it was more like a discovery. Lately my future is not necessarily in my control, “he elaborated.” I don’t care about that. I don’t think people are used to hearing the truth from athletes. “
The ‘love’ ends
On the other hand, Rodgers explained that his statements make even more sense when considering that during the 2020 Draft the Packers recruited Jordan Love, which makes its presence at Lambeau Field less strong in the medium term future.
“I think there are times when you let your mind fly, ‘I’ll be a Packer for my whole life.’ When they recruited Jordan, the reality came back to me, ‘That has never been the case’“he mentioned.
