Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, seemed to confirm the rumor that former NFL linebacker A.J. Hawk actually drank his own urine during his career in the league. Rodgers recently appeared on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ where he discussed a number of topics, mainly related to his new team and his expectations for the upcoming NFL season.

The rumor that AJ Hawk actually drank his own urine on a daily basis during his NFL career was stated by Pat McAfee during his opening lines at the 2023 ESPYs. However, Hawk refuted these claims and stated that he has never done that in his life. Rodgers added fuel to the fire in his latest conversation with McAfee, where he bluntly stated Hawk did indeed drink his own urine.
“A.J. was drinking his piss” Aaron Rodgers admitted on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’.
“Yes, we know. OK. You confirmed that.” Pat McAfee immediately replied to Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers and A.J. Hawk did indeed play together with the Green Bay Packers for a good number of seasons, even going on to win one Super Bowl. While Rodgers is continuing to play in the NFL, Hawk retired from the game after a one-year stint with the Atlanta Falcons after the 2016 season.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers will be getting ready for his debut season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers will be eager to churn out a better record after his last two seasons were pretty dismal for the veteran quarterback. Rodgers has only won one Super Bowl ring until now and will be hopeful of another one before his time in the league comes to an end.
Aaron Rodgers Can’t Stop Praising His Wife, Brittani
Aaron Rodgers is entering the 2025 NFL season as a newly married man. The veteran quarterback announced during the mandatory mini-camp that he has been married for a couple of months. While Rodgers did not exactly mention the name of his wife, it is known that she is Brittani. However, there are no other details available about Brittani at the moment.

In a recent interview with NFL Network, Rodgers opened up about his happiness at getting married to his ‘one’. The quarterback even went on to call Brittani an ‘incredible wife’. He also gushed over how unconditional love can change a person for the good. With Brittani having his back, Aaron Rodgers seems like a transformed man and will definitely be playing in the 2025 NFL campaign with renewed energy.
