Aaron Rodgers is once again under fire, this time from NFL fans who are less than thrilled with his latest venture—a Netflix documentary titled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma. The trailer for the three-part series, which premieres on December 17, has sparked a wave of criticism.
Many fans argue that the project reflects misplaced priorities, especially after the New York Jets’ disastrous 3-9 season and their continued struggle to meet playoff expectations. Rodgers, who joined the Jets with the hope of delivering a championship, now faces mounting discontent from fans who feel he hasn’t lived up to the hype.
The reactions online have been brutal. “This guy will do anything but help the Jets,” one fan quipped, summarizing the general sentiment. Others accused Rodgers of focusing more on his off-field pursuits than on improving the team’s fortunes. Some fans mocked the documentary’s title, questioning its relevance.
“How big of an enigma can someone be if they make a three-part series about themselves? Narcissist would’ve been a better title,” another fan remarked. For many, the trailer only solidified the belief that Rodgers’ priorities lie far from the football field.
The docuseries offers a glimpse into Rodgers’ life over the past two years, featuring his controversial moments, like meeting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and experimenting with Ayahuasca. However, for fans invested in the Jets’ success, these revelations feel like distractions from his on-field responsibilities. Critics argue that while Rodgers builds his media brand, the Jets remain stuck in mediocrity.
Meanwhile, former NFL players are weighing in on Rodgers’ future. Richard Sherman recently speculated that this could be the quarterback’s final season. “When you aren’t able to play at the level you want, sometimes it’s better to walk away,” Sherman noted, adding that Rodgers might want to avoid further tarnishing his legacy with subpar performances.
Rodgers arrived in New York with championship aspirations, but two seasons later, those dreams have faded. For Jets fans, the frustration lies not just in the team’s record but in what feels like a lack of urgency from their star quarterback. As the offseason approaches, questions about Rodgers’ priorities and future with the franchise will undoubtedly dominate the conversation. For now, though, the focus remains on a Netflix trailer that has left fans fuming and questioning if Rodgers’ heart is still in the game.
