TikTok Aaron Rodgers riding in the back of a pickup with beer.
There’s no scene more quintessentially Wisconsin than this one: An eagle-eyed fan spotted no other than Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers riding in the backup of a pickup truck holding a case of beer.
And it was really him.
The video was first posted on January 28, 2021, on TikTok. User @amberdanette added music and captioned the viral video, “#greenbaypackers I love my Packers! ❤️💕 #12 #aaronrodgers12 Turn up the Night – Upchurch & Bottleneck.” The video shows Rodgers, wearing a hat to ward off the cold Wisconsin winter air, sitting in the back of a red pickup truck and hoisting a case of beer.

Rodgers Admitted, ‘Ya That Was Me’
The video became a point of discussion on local radio as people speculated whether it really was Rodgers in the back of that pickup truck or just someone who looked a lot like him. The Packers QB cleared up any confusion, when he took to Twitter to admit it was him.
“Ya that was me 💪🏼 😂,” wrote the Packers star. “Listen to @OfficialAJHawk and it was @DavidBakhtiari‘s truck and soggy beer cases. How ya doin keep it movin @PatMcAfeeShow.” Amber Becker responded to Rodgers’ tweet on Twitter, writing, “This was my video!!! I love you Aaron Rodgers. I’ve been a packer fan since the age of 4. let’s meet up!! 😂”
A former Packer player, A.J. Hawk, explained that the pickup was taking a route used by players to Lambeau Field.
“I absolutely think that was him. You text me that video and I instantly said, ‘Yeah, he’s riding back to Lambeau from practice,'” Hawk said. “That’s a little drive you have to make in your pads. You just hop in the back of somebody’s truck and obviously, I guess they had a case of Miller Lite, so why not flash it to the people filming it?”
