Aaron Rodgers says hell play one more season, | College News

Looks like we received’t have Aaron Rodgers to kick around for much longer.

The four-time league MVP mentioned Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he’s “pretty sure” the upcoming NFL season — his first as quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers and twenty first general — will probably be his final.

And after that, Rodgers mentioned, he received’t be seen or heard from ever again.

“When this is all done, it’s Keyser Söze. You won’t see me,” Rodgers mentioned, referring to the elusive villain in “The Usual Suspects.” “I won’t be in the public. I don’t want to live a public life. … I’m not going to be in the public eye. When this is done, I’m done, and you won’t see me. And I’m looking forward to that.”

It may appear a tad tough to think about Rodgers willingly disappearing from public consciousness for any important period of time. In addition to being one of the all-time greats at quarterback, Rodgers has saved a fairly high profile in common tradition over the final 20 years.

He’s been in numerous commercials. He stuffed in as host of “Jeopardy.” He made the short checklist of doable working mates during Robert Kennedy Jr.’s presidential bid (that spot finally went to Nicole Shanahan). He was in romantic relationships with such well-known ladies as Olivia Munn, Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley.

In current years, Rodgers also has change into identified for his generally controversial opinions that he has been more than prepared to share during his common appearances on McAfee’s show and different platforms.

But, Rodgers insisted Tuesday, “I don’t want the attention,” although he acknowledged, “I know that’s a narrative out there.”

After 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers and two with the New York Jets, Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers as a free agent this summer season. At minicamp this month, the Super Bowl XLV MVP advised reporters that he had lately gotten married. He has not publicly revealed his spouse’s title.

On Tuesday, Rodgers spoke for practically 4 minutes about perceived invasions of his and his spouse’s privateness. He accused paparazzi of “stalking” the 2 of them and asserted that unnamed media shops had been either publishing delicate info about the couple or just making issues up about them.

“What happened to common decency about security and a personal life that we now have to dive into your details of where you live and what you’re doing and who you’re with and who your wife is and if you even have a wife,” Rodgers mentioned. “Because my wife is a private person, doesn’t have social media, hasn’t been a public person, doesn’t want to be a public person. But now that somehow is a weird thing?”

He added: “My private life is my private life, and it’s going to stay that way. And I’m with somebody who wants to be private, and if and when she wants to be out, and there’s a picture, she’ll choose that. And she deserves the right to that.

“But the entitlement to information about my private life is so … ridiculous and embarrassing. Like, hey, do what you got to do. But just try and leave me out of a conversation, Sports World, for a month. Try and just leave me out, my personal life, my professional life. Try not to talk about me. … Just see if you can do that.”
