Packers' Aaron Rodgers denies rumor that he could sit out Super Bowl: 'So ridiculously stupid'

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers shot down the rumor that he would boycott the Super Bowl should Green Bay make it that far this season.

The rumor in question originated with CBS Sports' Boomer Esiason. He reported last week during his show "Boomer and Gio" that a source heard from Rodgers' "direct circle" that the Packers quarterback was considering boycotting the Super Bowl because of the NFL's COVID protocols.

Boomer Esiason received a text from a trusted source which indicates that Aaron Rodgers will threaten to boycott the Super Bowl, should the Packers make it that far.
