Coronavirus: Packers QB Rodgers describes frantic journey out of Peru

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke about his frantic journey out of Peru before an airport shutdown.

The 36-year-old was in the South American nation earlier this month during the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to more than 27,300 deaths worldwide.

Rodgers described the crazy journey to get out of Peru ahead of an airport shutdown, revealing he "made it by about 15 minutes" in his private plane.

"Have you seen the movie 'Argo'? The scene at the end where they're racing to the airport and, nobody was chasing us thankfully or holding us," he told McAfee & Hawk: Sports Talk on Friday.
