Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was in attendance to watch the Wisconsin Badgers battle the Florida Gators in the 2017 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
When it comes to the state of Wisconsin, very few people are loved as much as Aaron Rodgers is. After all, he brought them a Super Bowl and is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He’s also supportive of Wisconsin athletics.
With the Wisconsin Badgers battling the Florida Gators for a spot in the Elite Eight, Rodgers was in attendance to root on the Badgers. His loyalties weren’t to just Wisconsin however. He was also wearing an old Milwaukee Bucks hat while sitting there. We’ll have to assume he is also a fan of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Rodgers wasn’t the only noted celebrity he was with. Former U.S. Open winner Andy North was there as well sitting with Rodgers. Give the quarterback some credit, he also was in attendance for the game before, as Baylor lost to South Carolina.

After knocking off Villanova last week, the Badgers continued to remind everyone why sleeping on them is a bad idea. They’ve had a great run of knocking off the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and that’s why they’re primed for the run they’re on.
Of course, it’s caught the attention of Rodgers. Now, the only thing left to see is whether or not anyone on the Badgers can throw a full-court Hail Mary shot to win the game.
