Could Aaron Rodgers still go into politics once his NFL career comes to a close?

In the trailer for Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, released Tuesday, Dec. 3, Rodgers appears alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who asks the iconic quarterback if he’d ever move outside the pocket so to speak, and try another high-profile career.

“Have you thought about going into politics?” Kennedy Jr. asks the 41-year-old athlete, as the two are seen posing for a picture.

Amid a disappointing season with the New York Jets — and coming off a 2023 season-ending Achilles injury — Rodgers is seemingly at a crossroads in real life and in the new doc, with the trailer addressing whether the 2010 Super Bowl MVP should retire.

“I’m trying to beat back Father Time and the expectations,” Rodgers, currently in his 20th NFL season, says at one point.

Meanwhile, the athlete addressed rumors last spring that he was on the former presidential candidate’s short list as a vice presidential pick.

"I love Bobby, we had a couple of really nice conversations, but there were really two options: It was retire and be his VP or keep playing," Rodgers said at the time. "But I wanted to keep playing."

As the signal-caller mulls his next play, the doc also seemingly addresses Rodgers’ controversial stances and their consequences, including “losing friendships, family,” he says at one point. “It was heartbreaking.”

In November 2023, he spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about his mental health, in the wake of his season-opener (and season-ending) injury.

"It's been a grind. Frustration, sadness — a lot of sadness," Rodgers told PEOPLE at the time, and added that he was grateful for those who "showed up" for him, especially after his surgery.

"They brought me food, took care of me, checked on me, FaceTimed me, called me. So I'm really thankful for everybody who reached out," he said. "It was a tough time and I was in a rough place."

Aaron Rodgers: Enigma arrives on the streaming platform on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
