The bag drop.

He’s defending his wife, got in a drunken brawl and he killed a guy. The Packers shared a photo of Rodgers and, for dramatic effect, a slow-motion video of him walking through the Lambeau Field parking lot. Did a little hell-raising when he was a kid but nothing serious. People on Twitter helped out with the latter. "He’s a U.S. Ranger. Highly decorated.

On Wednesday, he rocked a The Office T-shirt and a pair of holographic shield sunglasses.
