Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback, is about to become the subject of a new biography, but he’s not thrilled about it. In a recent interview, Rodgers expressed skepticism about the book, titled “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,” written by a renowned New York sportswriter.

While Rodgers doesn’t take issue with the author’s efforts to tell his story, he’s concerned that the author’s sources might not be presenting events in the proper context. “There are stories in there that I’m sure are true, there are stories that are exaggerated over time. There are stories that are perspectively true to people,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers made it clear that he didn’t ask for the biography and wasn’t involved in the writing process until late in the game. “I commend him for the time he spent on it, but it’s not a book I asked him to write for me,” he said.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the biography is the long-standing rift between Rodgers and his family, which is explored in depth. According to the author, the issues between Rodgers and his family go beyond his ex-girlfriend Olivia Munn, and involve other members of his family. Rodgers’ former junior college football coach, Craig Rigsbee, shared a revealing story about the quarterback’s frustrations with his younger brother Jordan’s role on ABC’s Bachelorette.

Rodgers’ coach, Rigsbee, recalled an incident in 2016 when Rodgers was taking part in a celebrity golf tournament near Lake Tahoe, and someone in the crowd referenced Jordan, prompting Rodgers to become visibly upset. Rigsbee suggested that people in Rodgers’ orbit didn’t know how far they were pushing him, leading to feelings of frustration and resentment.

The biography also delves into Rodgers’ complex relationships with his family members, including his parents and brothers. Rigsbee shared a story about Rodgers’ brothers, Jordan and Luke, which sheds light on the tensions within the family.

Despite the controversy surrounding the biography, Rodgers has been learning some new things from the author’s reporting, including facts about his paternal grandfather, Edward Rodgers, a decorated World War II combat pilot. Rodgers was particularly moved by the story of his grandfather’s bravery during the war.

The exact cause of the friction between Rodgers and his family remains unclear, but one thing is certain – the biography has sparked a lot of interest and controversy. As the book is set to be released, it will be interesting to see how Rodgers and his family respond to the revelations within.

Rodgers, meanwhile, is focused on his football career, and is not expected to play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte.
