A startling possibility but one that many sources seem to fall back on. Keen on becoming the full-time host of game show Jeopardy in the near future, Rodgers could easily call it a day on what has been a Hall of Fame-worthy career.

But is he really going to do that? His former Green Bay Packers teammate and close friend AJ Hawk weighed in.

“You saw the match obviously. He wanted to win. You can see that when somebody wants to win… He likes to compete. Does that look like a guy that’s gonna sit out and retire to you? Does not,” said Hawk.

Hawk recently hung out with Aaron Rodgers and spending time with him made him realize that the QB is in a good spot both mentally and physically. 

“I think Aaron looks great. He seems mentally in a good spot. He can still sling the ball. I watched him sling the ball a little bit in the water. We were jumping off docks trying to catch balls. But yeah, I feel I think he’s in a great spot right now,” he added.
