To make matters even more interesting, Rodgers explained the interaction with Tomlin on Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show."

"I’m a big Mike Tomlin fan, I have been for a long time. I like the way that he speaks about his team and the way he goes about his business," Rodgers said. "I like his confidence. I’ve heard nothing but good things [about him] from guys that have played there. I like Tomlin."

"I’m just speaking the truth. If you want to take that and run with it, say I’m angling for some sort of next team, I’m not. I’m just answering the question for my respect for what Mike has accomplished over the years," the Packers star said.
