Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has always been known to be a bit of an odd-ball, and a former teammates revelation about his first interaction with him only reaffirms that notion.
Former Packers quarterback DeShone Kizer discussed his relationship with Rodgers amongst a number of other topics in an interview with media personality Adam Breneman.
Kizer shockingly detailed that the first thing Rodgers said to him was a question on his beliefs of 9/11.
“He shut the door, and the first thing that came out of Aaron Rodgers’ mouth was ‘Do you believe in 9/11?’ What, do I believe in 9/11? Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
“He was like ‘You should read up on that,’ and then we just start learning up about the playbook, and I was like wow I don’t know where this is going. What it ended up being was a thought experiment where he wanted me to go back and look into some of the conspiracies around it.”
“We really bonded over that and started sharing some books, and we started talking about some other things. Some history, some business, some finance.”

Kizer then added that 9/11 conspiracy theories was just the tip of the iceberg, also discussing various conspiracies about the moon landing and inner earth with Rodgers.
It’s one thing to discuss these topics with a friend or someone that you are close with, but to discuss these topics with a new teammate is undoubtedly strange, which many pointed out on social media.
Increasingly convinced Aaron Rodgers watched Zeitgeist once in college, and subsequently built an entire identity off that experience. https://t.co/o3lHL2hx0z
