Jets fans will tell you they’ve seen all they need to see this year, but they’ll get more — at least about their QB1 in documentary form.
“Enigma,” Netflix’s three-part series on Aaron Rodgers, is set to debut on Dec. 17, with the trailer debuting during the Jets quarterback’s weekly appearance on Tuesday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show.”
The trailer, just short of two minutes, teased a look behind the scenes and into nearly every headline that has tantalized Gang Green for the past 20 months.
It also showed Rodgers, face painted red, drinking Ayahuasca.
He was seen hiking with former presidential candidate — and President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., discussing thoughts of “going into politics.”
Also in the trailer was Rodgers running out of the tunnel at MetLife with the American Flag in hand, then being dragged to the turf four plays later during last year’s Jets opening night.
Rodgers was later shown being wheeled across a linoleum floor with his leg wrapped and his head in his hands.
A moment comes next, with Rodgers nursing his Achilles back to health before getting back on the field once again.
Nothing looks to be off-limits in the documentary, with snippets revealing other polarizing moments, such as Rodgers’ anti-vaccine stance.
In sound-bites laid over video footage, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer was heard talking about his recovery — “I’m not most people” — his drug-induced spiritual journey — “the metamorphosis is happening” — and even how he hopes to be remembered — “there is football legacy and then there is character legacy.”
But unfortunately for the Jets and Rodgers, the story, right now, does not have a triumphant ending.
The 3-9 team has stumbled through their 2024 season — a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations — the conversation has now turned to potentially benching the 10-time Pro Bowler, though interim coach Jeff Ulrbich reiterated his belief in Rodgers and that he will start this week.
“Enigma,” if nothing else, promises Gang Green fans something entertaining to watch.
