Aaron Rodgers: TD celebration based on ‘Austin Powers in Goldmember’
The mystery is solved, once and for all.
The celebration from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers following a touchdown run against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Lambeau Field was based on the movie “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” and the whole thing has strong ties to offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
Rodgers confirmed the connection to the film during his weekly interview with “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday.
“Our offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who installs the red zone, is obsessed with that movie,” Rodgers said. “One of our mantras is, ‘I love gold!’ We call the red zone the gold zone as an ode to Goldmember.”
