Aaron Rodgers Discusses Ayahuasca, Controversial Remarks, Jordan Love
Former Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, and that is the place Rodgers often comes up with his most interesting comments.
The Packers quarterback provided several remarks during the show that should spark some responses, and we will note just a few.
The most intriguing one was the fact that he says he is enjoying football now since he had his experience with ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic drug that he experimented with while in Peru:

Rodgers also talks about his reaction to come of the controversial comments he made last fall regarding COVID and vaccinations.

He expanded on that by speaking about the importance of listening to different opinions.
"In order to come together as people you have to listen to other people's opinions & a lot of the time you don't agree with those opinions" ~@AaronRodgers12#PMSLive pic.twitter.com/lukBx9s1MC

Back to football. Rodgers discussed how he is pulling for Packers backup quarterback Jordan Love, much like Jimmy Garoppolo seems to be doing with Trey Lance
"When I see Jordan Love out there doing well it FIRES ME UP" ~@AaronRodgers12#PMSLive #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/mXXduJJsgy

His challenge this year is to have success with a new group of wide receivers, and he talks about those new weapons.
"Romeo Doubs is a great kid & I love his work ethic.. Sammy Watkins & Randall Cobb have practiced as good as I've seen WRs practice in a long time" @AaronRodgers12 shares his thoughts on the Packers WR room #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/OFw0lLDvdY

And finally, as the 38-year-old Rodgers ages, he takes on more of a coaching role.
"As you get older in this league you have to step into more of a coaching role & I love those opportunities" ~@AaronRodgers12#PMSLive pic.twitter.com/Ufp4vAV51l

Love him or hate him, Rodgers can never be accused of being boring. He gives every question a thoughtful answer, and you may or may not agree with him, and sometimes it leads to controversy. Being named MVP four times, including each of the past two years, gives him a platform to say things others will respond to.
