NFL star Aaron Rodgers says Robert F. Kennedy asked him to be his running mate in presidential campaign.

instead. Rodgers was on the short list of vice presidential possibilities for U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but took himself out of the running. The decision basically came down to football, which Rodgers would have had to give up.at the New York Jets press conference Tuesday."We had a couple of really nice conversations. But there were really two options -- retire and be his VP or keep playing. And I wanna keep playing.".

There's plenty to prove in 2024 for Rodgers, who is attempting to show he can still play at a high level one year after a severe injury. The only 40-year-old with that long of a layoff between games since 1970 was Steve DeBerg . The Jets also have the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 13 seasons and haven't advance to a Super Bowl since winning Super Bowl III in the 1968 season. Rodgers wants to bring a championship to New York, so a political career will have to wait.
