Career in Jeopardy? Not Yet
In between Packers seasons, Rodgers dabbled in the game-show biz. On May 12, 2015, he entered Celebrity Jeopardy! — and cleaned up. Rodgers, a fan of the show since he was a child, defeated Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary and then-astronaut Mark Kelly.
Alex Trebek, the Jeopardy! icon who also hosted that celebrity event, died in 2020 from pancreatic cancer. Rodgers, who called Trebek “one of my idols,” was among those who filled in after Trebek’s passing, doing a two-week gig guest-hosting the show from April 5-16, 2021.

And that after wearing 12 at Pleasant Valley HS in Chico, CA. So he seems to be a fan of multiples of four. Yet on the current Jets, 12 hasn’t been worn since Namath left the Jets after the 1976 season, while D.J. Reed wears 4. Elijah Moore wore 8 until he was traded to Cleveland. Yet as Rodgers in mid-March on the The Pat McAfee…
