Ryan Fitzpatrick couldn’t help but poke fun at New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the final “Thursday Night Football” broadcast of the 2023 NFL season.
Speaking to Rodgers before the game, Fitzpatrick introduced himself to the four-time league MVP in humorous fashion. The former journeyman QB said, “Hey Aaron, Ryan Fitzpatrick class of 2005…twice vaccinated” as the future Hall of Famer smiled through the line:
Rodgers has been an outspoken skeptic of COVID-19 vaccinations and a critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The 40-year-old had to miss one of the Packers’ 2021 games after testing positive for COVID-19, and he wasn’t eligible to play because of his unvaccinated status.
The Jets trailed the Browns 34-17 at halftime.
