Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he takes responsibility for 'misleading' comments about his vaccine status - USA TODAY

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday following a provocative appearance on the program last week in which he defended his unvaccinated status and spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. 

"I made some comments that people might've felt were misleading. To anybody who felt misled by those comments, I take full responsibility for those comments," Rodgers said at the beginning of his interview with McAfee, the former Indianapolis Colts punter, and A.J. Hawk, Rodgers' former Packers teammate. 

"I stand by what I said and the reasons why I made the decision," Rodgers said later in the interview.

McAfee pressed Rodgers on the medical experts he consulted to make his decision, other than Joe Rogan, who Rodgers praised last week. He offered no specifics. 

“Look, I have a lot of admiration for Joe," Rodgers said. "I definitely talked with about a dozen friends of mine who dealt with COVID and they were all very helpful in different ways, Joe being one of them.”

This marks the second Rodgers has appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" since he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and missed Sunday's loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.
