When Aaron Rodgers’ teammate revealed QB fell for a strange 'chemtrail' conspiracy theory

NFL legend Aaron Rodgers is one of a kind, on and off the field. Even when he is not on the field throwing balls, his mind is always working like the DC Comics character "The Question." Rodgers and Question are popularly known as conspiracy theorists.

In a 2021 ESPN interview, former Green Bay Packers teammate Seneca Wallace shared insights on Rodgers' unique beliefs.

“He’s always thinking the crazy conspiracies," Wallace said. "So he’s like, ‘Hey, what do you think all that stuff is flying behind that jet stream? Do you think it has anything to do with maybe why everybody’s getting cancer?’ That’s just kind of his attitude. That’s the way he’s, you know, wired.”

Rodgers was referencing the chemtrail theory, which claims airplanes release cancer-causing chemicals into the air under government directives.

Aaron Rodgers and his wild conspiracy theories

Though it may sound strange, Rodgers’ fans are accustomed to his outspoken takes, and this is far from his only one. He’s made both comical and controversial remarks, including a denial of the tragic Sandy Hook school incident.

“As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy,” he wrote on X in March. “I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. ... My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire Sandy Hook community.”

The New York Jets QB considers himself a critical thinker, often dismissing right-wing ideas about government. He asserts that UFOs aren’t alien spaceships but distractions created by the U.S. government to divert public attention from real issues.

Another theory Rodgers entertains is that 9/11 never happened. On "The Breneman Show" in 2022, former Packers QB DeShone Kizer recalled what Rodgers asked him.

“The first thing that comes out of Aaron Rodgers’s mouth was, ‘You believe in 9/11?’” he said. “‘What? Do I believe in 9/11? Yeah, why wouldn’t I?’”

As per Kizer, Rodgers replied:

“Should read up on that.”

Rodgers' eccentricities don’t stop there. He once started calling his teammate Graham Harrell his “fraternity brother” and referred to second QB Matt Flynn as part of an “enemy fraternity.” Fans can watch some of his conspiracy theories on "Hard Knocks '23."
