Aaron Rodgers cuts against the grain, that’s for sure.

The 2022 NFL MVP arrived to the first day of Packers’ training camp in…style? Despite signing one of the biggest extensions in league history earlier this offseason, Rodgers pulled up to Green Bay’s training facility dressed like a farmer who just finished a long day on the field.

Dressed to the nines in a tank top, bootcut jeans and sleek black leather boots, Rodgers looked every bit like a cowboy returning home after a rodeo.
