Aaron Rodgers Receives Major Documentary Treatment By Netflix

Netflix released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming documentary series, “Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,” on Monday, and it's not at all what we expected.

If you hear the words “Netflix,” “Aaron Rodgers,” and “documentary,” you're not the only one who conjures up images of the New York Jets quarterback aboard a private jet bored out loud by reciting stats. That's exactly what we see in the first teaser for an upcoming documentary series about Rodgers, one of the most entertaining and controversial athletes in modern history.

“It's all about percentages,” Rodgers tells the camera, before talking so fast about math and football that we literally can't keep up. Rodgers appears in the one-scene teaser alongside Dr. Neil ElAttrache, who treated him from the Achilles injury that ended his 2023 season.

There is another faceless character in the scene, a woman, who, from the little footage we see, is clearly very close to Rodgers and very kind to him. Rumor has it that Rodgers was the daughter of Wes and Mallory Edens, who were owners of the Milwaukee Bucks at the time. According to In the New York Post.

Boring statistics aside (which I'm sure most football fans will enjoy) this series seems pretty fascinating.
