Hilarious Aaron Rodgers x Nicolas Cage memes trend as NFL star’s appearance at Packers camp goes viral

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in the National Football League (NFL), arrived at training camp on Tuesday, July 26, dressed in a manner reminiscent of Nicolas Cage in the 1997 film Con Air. In a video posted by the Green Bay Packers on Twitter on Tuesday, Rodgers was shown at training camp for the 2022 season dressed in a particular look.

Aaron Rodgers wore a black belt, blue pants, and a tight white tank top vest. Further attire included a pair of black leather boots for the 38-year-old. The NFL quarterback completed his Nicolas Cage-inspired look with slicked-back long hair in addition to his outfit.

Aaron Rodgers has already created a lot of buzz with his pop-culture-inspired attire. This was not surprising as the well-known NFL player had a cameo role in the renowned NBC sitcom’s A.A.R.M. episodes in Season 9. The quarterback showed up wearing a shirt that made reference to the famous incident in the iconic The Office episode featuring “Kevin’s Famous Chili” during training camp last season.

Within a few hours of the video’s publication, the Green Bay Packer’s official Twitter page had over 15,900 likes. As fans photo-shopped Rodgers in place of Nic Cage from the movie’s poster, the NFL star’s portrayal of Cameron Poe gave rise to countless memes. Others, meantime, modified the clip that Packers shared and added the Con Air trailer soundtrack.

The original voice-over from the 1997 classic’s official trailer was also inserted by NFL/CFB correspondent Annie Agar. In the meantime, the Pardon My Take podcast from Barstool Sports tweeted images of Aaron Rodgers’ attire and Nic Cage’s look from the movie that served as his inspiration, along with a joke that the NFL star would grab the Declaration of Independence if he lost the playoffs. The 2004 Disney hit National Treasure, starring Nic Cage, was alluded to in this comment.

Given that the quarterback’s appearance has recently been compared to Nicolas Cage’s, Rodgers’ fashion choices are not shocking.
