Conspiracy theories and Aaron Rodgers go hand-in-hand. Known to incite out-of-the-box paparazzi headlines, experts and fans love talking about the New York Jets quarterback’s frequent digressions from the subject of his playing career. More recently, he had some theories about the US Government shooting down UFOs to hide something far more sinister going on in the background. However, nothing compares to the time when A-Rod expressed his wild theories about one of the most tragic days in American history.

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback DeShone Kizer discussed his initial meeting with former Packers legend Aaron Rodgers in a podcast interview back in 2022. However, the subject of their conversation made many heads turn. Jokingly or otherwise, A-Rod shared some extremely controversial views about the 9/11 attacks. The interview went viral again recently because of a unique coincidence between the 2001 tragedy and the 2023 Jets NFL season opener.

What was the Aaron Rodgers conspiracy theory about 9/11?

The attack on the Twin World Trade Center Towers on 11th September 2001 shook the core of the entire nation. Countless lives were lost in the meaningless tragedy. However, over the last two decades, multiple conspiracy theories have emerged, debunking the incident as a government cover-up. Some even think that the entire tragedy was a hoax. Super Bowl XLV MVP Aaron Rodgers probably falls in that category, according to a conversation he had with his backup QB, DeShone Kizer.

You believe in 9/11?” Rodgers had asked Kizer. When Kizer claimed that he did, Rodgers’ reply was, “You should read up on that.”

More than spewing conspiracies, though, Kizer clarified that it was a bonding exercise between the two QBs. “Lots of great conversations. Really bonded over that. Started sharing some books and talking about other things like history, business, and finance,” Kizer said.

This was nothing new for fans because of Rodgers’ previous antics

During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee podcast, Aaron Rodgers claimed the country’s government was shooting down UFOs to distract people from the more dangerous headlines. One of them was the alleged release of Jeffrey Epstein’s client list. This comment led to the 4x NFL MVP’s roast on talk shows and comedy segments. His old teammate David Bakhtiari had to step in to shield Rodgers from the monologue attack by Jimmy Kimmel.

Besides this, Rodgers is a known ayahuasca practitioner and loves to spend time in underground darkness retreats to have better clarity of mind. Will all the off-season antics lead to a Super Bowl for Rodgers and end the miserable 13-year postseason drought for the Gang Green?
