Aaron Rodgers's Training Camp Arrival Outfit Is Going Viral (Sports Illustrated)

The memes were flying on Twitter and all of them compared Rodgers to a Nicholas Cage character.

Not to mention, some players may look a little different. The video, in slow motion of course, caught Rodgers showing up to training camp with boots, jeans, a tank top and his long hair flowing in the wind. When it comes to Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback decided to sport a new look for the first day of training camp and the internet had a field day.

With the power (and karate skills) of Cage behind them, the sky is the limit for Green Bay this season. Most importantly, however, Rodgers’ Cage homage continues the ongoing Niconaissance. A critical reevaluation of the Cage oeuvre is fully underway following Cage’s performance as Cage in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive of Talent’ earlier this year and it’s nice to see Rodgers paying his respects to the man, the myth, and, of course, the legend. The bag drop.

Last year, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers reported for training camp wearing a T-shirt from "The Office." It was a much different look this year.

Where many saw Cage others saw former Creed lead singer Scott Stapp, who notably rocks a white tank in the video for “Higher” and also popped up as a popular Halloween costume guess. 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.

The 2022 regular season is just around the corner, and NFL Network has you covered with wall-to-wall training camp coverage each day starting at 10 a.m. ET.

- Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury spoke to reporters Tuesday and said that he expects second-year wide receiverRondale Mooreto play a more significant role in 2022 with the departure of Christian Kirk, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason. - Rapoport reported Tuesday that New York Jets offensive tackleMekhi Becton(knee) is expected to come off the physically unable to perform list after passing a physical on Tuesday. The Jets officially announced Becton's return to the active roster later that day. - Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday, via theIndianapolis Star, that the team is still considering adding a veteran to its wide receiver room through the free agent market. On Jones, Rapoport reported that while there has been interest from multiple teams, most notably the Packers, Jones was not seen at anyone's camp on Tuesday. This indicates Jones could be willing to wait until a contending team suffers an injury, which would raise his market value as a replacement. - NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo gave an update on Inside Training Camp Live on free agent wide receiverCole Beasley, who Garafolo said is still generating significant interest from multiple teams. So the Titans will be modifying their approach in offseason workouts to keep him as healthy as possible, and that includes limiting Henry's preseason play.

The Packers begin training camp practices on Wednesday morning at Ray Nitschke Field across from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Rodgers and the Packers have won an NFL-high 39 games over the last three seasons but are still attempting to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since winning Super Bowl XLV. The journey officially begins this week.

Look: Aaron Rodgers' Response To Davante Adams Is Going Viral (The Spun)

The five-time Pro Bowler wanted to be in Las Vegas and reunited with Carr, who was his college teammate for three seasons at Fresno State from 2011 to 2013. People are going to blow this up and take everything I say, and we're the only team in camp right now.'" The 26-year-old had 513 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 40 receptions in 15 games. He has only had two games with at least 100 yards in four seasons. "Derek's career, honestly, you look at the numbers that he's had and what he's had to work with and the adversity that he's had in Oakland and coming to Vegas and the type of stuff that's been going on here in the past, which, hopefully we're putting all that stuff to bed, but, yeah, I didn't deliver that message the way that I had in my head.

Football by day, cosplaying as Nicolas Cage breaking out a bunch of airborne prisoners by night.

On Tuesday, the Packers posted a dramatic slo-mo video of Rogers saddling up to the stadium with duffle bag in hand, looking quarterback-ly pensive while slicking a hand through his mane. On Wednesday, he rocked a The Office T-shirt and a pair of holographic shield sunglasses. (To jog your memory, the movie stars Cage—alongside Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich, Dave Chapelle, and John Cusack, among others—as an affable ex-con trying to rescue his fellow prisoners when Malkovich’s supervillain character, Cyrus “The Virus” Grissom, attempts a scorched-earth coup of the plane they’re all being transported on.)
