Jordan Rodgers made a rare public comment about his brother Aaron this week, and it came with a side of family drama. Appearing on ESPN’s First Take, the college football analyst picked the 42-year-old Steelers quarterback as the AFC signal-caller he trusts most in the playoffs, crediting Pittsburgh’s elite defense, strong run game, and Aaron’s MVP pedigree.“I just feel like I trust the guy that’s got the MVPs, that has the veteran status, that’s seen everything,”Jordan said. Fair football logic.
But according to a Page Six source, Jordan and his wife JoJo Fletcher are only“cordial”with Aaron, and Jordan was noticeably absent from a July reunion photo featuring Aaron, his parents, and older brother Luke. Aaron said in September that he and Jordan had reconciled, but the source claims he’s led the public to believe things are better than they actually are.
So was the First Take endorsement a real olive branch or just a professional answering a question? The Rodgers family saga has been public fodder for years, and this moment gives it another chapter. Do you think Jordan and Aaron are actually healed, or just being polite? Sound off below.
