What if I told you that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers best season in his NFL career…
Was done while he was absolutely zooted off his arse? Ok, no really… but he does credit psychedelics for the back to back MVP seasons.
The 38-year-old joined the Aubrey Marcus Podcast here recently, and he brought up an intriguing point about how the use of psychedelic drugs played a role in his best season of his NFL career.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I really don’t. I don’t really believe in coincidences at this point. It’s the universe bringing things to happen when they’re supposed to happen.”
After a glorious experiences with psilocybin (AKA mushrooms), Rodgers (along with ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick) and some friends took a trip to South America ahead of the 2020 season.
And in addition to checking out Machu Picchu, the crew tried ayahuasca, psychoactive tea that contains DMT, which he claims helped him love himself unconditionally, along with others as well.
He confessed to Marcus:
“To me, one of the core tenets of your mental health is that self-love. That’s what ayahuasca did for me, was help me see how to unconditionally love myself.
It’s only in that unconditional self-love, that then I’m able to truly be able to unconditionally love others. And what better way to work on my mental health than to have an experience like that?”
Rodgers has been very vocal about his newfound love for the game of football, and could we be able to credit all of that to ayahuasca?
He recalled his first time taking it:
“I laid there afterward on my mat and then opened my eyes and it felt like I was opening my eyes for the first time.
I really feel like that experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career.”
He also said he noticed a change in his relationship with the Packers organization in general once he took the drug, saying:
“The greatest gift I can give my teammates, in my opinion, is to be able to show up and to be someone who can model unconditional love to them.
They won’t care about what you say until they know how much you care.”
Of course, this isn’t all too surprising, considering Rodgers seems to have embraced more a free spirit life style in the past few years. And now he’s been rumored to be dating a girl names “Blu (Of Earth).”
Nevertheless, the proof is in the pudding… back to back MVPs don’t lie.

Aaron Rodgers Goes Full Blown ‘Con Air’ Walking Into Training Camp
Considering Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in the midst of his hipster phase in life, I was fully expecting the man to roll into camp barefoot wearing a beanie, circle sunglasses, a leather jacket, and skinny jeans.
But nah, he rolled in reppin’…
A wife beater, Wrangler jeans, and boots?
Lookin’ like redneck Fabio out here.
Seriously, he looks like he’s gearing up to play some two-hand touch football with Brett Favre and his dog in a Wrangler commercial, the complete opposite of what probably every other NFL fan was expecting. Either that, or he’s being cast for a role in Trailer Park Boys.
But perhaps the biggest (and best) comparison… Nic Cage in the glorious motion picture known as Con Air
Of course, Rodgers has never been one to go with the people’s popular opinion, so I guess the new get up isn’t all that surprising.
Nevertheless, it looks like the man is coming into camp ready to fuck some shit up.
If your favorite NFL team has Green Bay on the schedule, beware… I’m going with Aaron and the boys by a million.
Did I hear MVP?
And believe it or not, Twitter was actually loving it:
