Aaron Rodgers

No. 8 · 22nd season

42 years old, one season left, and his family is back in the picture

Some things take longer than a football career to sort out. Aaron Rodgers has been one of the most talked-about players in the league for years — and not always because of what happened on the field. His distance from his family has been part of his public story for a long time, the kind of thing that follows a person whether they want it to or not.

Then, ahead of what is expected to be his final season, he posted photos on Instagram. His parents. His brother Luke. Together.

There is no footnote that explains what changed or how long it took. There does not need to be. The photo says what it says.

He is 42. He is about to play one last time. And the people who were not in the picture — literally — are now. Whatever the last chapter of his career looks like on the field, it will not look like the ones before it off of it.
