“Looks Like He Joined A Cult” — Aaron Rodgers’ New Viral Photo Has The Internet In Complete Meltdown
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
A photo of Aaron Rodgers boasting a strange buzz cut has gone viral this week following the quarterback’s return to training.
Rodgers has confirmed that the 2026 season will be his last in the pros. And we imagine he’s keen on leaving it all out there in his swansong campaign.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs well underway, a photo showing the four-time MVP with all his hair shaved off is doing the rounds online.
“Rodgers showed up to Steelers practice looking like he just joined a cult😭,” one fan claimed.

Aaron Rodgers Relishing Mike McCarthy Reunion
As mentioned above, Rodgers isn’t planning to play past the 2026 season.
Asked whether it would be his final season in the pros last week, he offered an unequivocal response. “Yes. This is it,” Rodgers said (H/T ESPN).
Rodgers explained his decision to return for one more season in the wake of Mike Tomlin’s departure, also shouting out his mystery wife, who must have had some bearing on the decision.
The 42-year-old signed a one-year deal worth up to $25 million to return to Pittsburgh earlier this month.
He admitted having believed it was over after Tomlin’s departure, but reconsidered after the team hired Mike McCarthy.
“When he said he was stepping away, that was an emotional moment just because we all love him so much and care about him, and I thought that was probably it for me in Pittsburgh,” Rodgers said. “But when the decision was made to hire Mike, I started opening my mind back up to coming back.”
Rodgers said the prospect of playing for McCarthy was a full-circle moment, having won a Super Bowl with the 62-year-old when they worked together in Green Bay.
