Drop your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers and his chances of being this season’s NFL MVP ↓
Publish date:With the NFL regular season coming to a close and playoffs are around the corner, there’s one honor that has people talking—who will be dubbed this season’s MVP?
The leading contender, despite controversy surrounding him this season, is Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he did not seem fully convinced during Tuesday’s appearance on “Let’s not put the cart before the horse,” Rodgers said. “We did last year,” McAfee reminded, but the Green Bay signal-caller replied that last year's campaign was different. This season, Rodgers said, “certain statuses might come into play.”
Rodgers is likely implying that voters won’t pick him because of his COVID-19 vaccination status and the public fallout over the last several weeks. He had previously revealed on the show that he is unvaccinated after Rodgers stated during his early November appearance onthat he has an allergy to one of the ingredients used in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, leaving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as the only other option.
He was also vocal about his thoughts on the NFL and NFLPA’s COVID-19 guidelines before the latest update, specifically taking issue with having to be masked at press conferences as an unvaccinated player.. “They’re based purely in trying to out and shame people. Like needing to wear a mask at a podium when every person in the room is vaccinated and wearing a mask makes no sense to me.
