A TikTok apparently featuring Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers went viral on Thursday.
The clip shows Rodgers riding in the back of a GMC truck with a case of beer, which he appears to flash for the camera.
Former Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk explained on the Pat McAfee Show it most certainly was Rodgers in the back of the truck, noting that is the drive to Lambeau Field from the practice facility. Rodgers acknowledged via Twitter it was indeed him in the clip, and that the truck he was riding in belonged to left tackle David Bakhtiari:
Ya that was me šŖš¼š Listen to @OfficialAJHawk and it was @DavidBakhtiari ās truck and soggy beer cases. How ya doin keep it movin @PatMcAfeeShow # https://t.co/P1qfRnUb2W

It's likely this occurred earlier in the season, considering Bakhtiari has since suffered a torn ACL that forced him out of Green Bay's playoff run. In any case, it is a pretty funny visual to see Mr. Discount Double Check in his standard beanie waving a case of beer around.
Aaron Rodgers would undoubtedly be having more fun if he were headed to Tampa to compete in the Super Bowl.
The Packers lost in the NFC title game for the second consecutive season, this time to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rodgers nearly led Green Bay back from a 28-10 deficit, and the Packers had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. But head coach Matt LaFleur elected to kick the field goal on fourth down instead. Green Bay never got the ball back.
Aaron Rodgers inspired plenty of speculation with his postgame comments, but he has since cleared the air by suggesting he intends to play in Green Bay next season. Packers fans sure would love to see the presumptive league MVP back in 2021, maybe even more so if they spot him downing beers in the back of a pickup.
