A representative said Kennedy is “considering” Rodgers as a running mate.
The New York Times, which first reported that Rodgers and former WWE star and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura were on Kennedy's list, said the four-time NFL MVP “welcomed ” to the idea.
Neither Rodgers' agent nor the Jets immediately responded to a request for comment.
Rodgers has been outspoken about his support for Kennedy, even saying he would like to be in a tag team fight with Kennedy as his partner against Dr. Anthony Fauci and “Mr. Pfizer” Travis Kelce. When he dropped that bombshell, he referred to RFK Jr. as “my man.”
Last April, Rodgers wrote #kennedy2024″ on his Instagram Story and supported him in another post on what was then Twitter.
