The recent Aaron Rodgers appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience has certainly created a buzz.
The 2011 Super Bowl winner shocked fans with his admission of being on percocets during a game. Rodgers never specified which game he played while on the drug. However, it can be determined that it was prior to 2020.
Fans online think they have found that game when Rodgers led the Packers to a 24-23 victory over the Chicago Bears. It was easy to remember because Rodgers’ eyes were notably glazed and he seemed to act really different.

“The pain management, especially with our sport, is fascinating to see how things are ‘treated,’” Rodgers said during an appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. “I use quotations on treated because, up until probably a decade ago, it was easily accessible to get oxy, Percocet, Vicodin, whatever you wanted; you played [on painkillers], definitely.”
Percocets are a combination of medications used to help relieve moderate to severe pain, according to WebMD. “It contains an opioid pain reliever (oxycodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Oxycodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever.”
“[I played] on Percocet. It was more for pain management, so I wasn’t taking any high dosage, but stupid, ultimately.”
Rodgers recently made headlines for admitting his usage of ayahuasca, a psychedelic drug that led him to an increased self-awareness that he thinks translated to the field.
“I had a magical experience with the sensation of feeling a hundred different hands on my body imparting a blessing of love and forgiveness for myself and gratitude for this life from what seemed to be my ancestors,” he said during the “Aubrey Marcus Podcast” earlier this month.
“I really feel like that set me on my course to be able to go back into my job and have a different perspective on things and to be way more free at work, as a leader, as a teammate, as a friend, as a lover. I really feel like that experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career.”
From Percocet to ayahuasca, Rodgers is truly pushing the limits.
