Aaron Rodgers is living up to his promise to be unapologetically himself.

When asked why he has been so “willing” to speak his mind this season, the Packers quarterback said he just doesn’t “give a f–k” at this stage in his career.

“For a long time I think I was a little more of an enigma because I was quiet about my personal life and I think at some point you just stop giving a f–k about being quiet and say ‘enough is enough,'” Rodgers said in an interview with NFL Network’s Kay Adams that aired before the Packers were bounced out of the playoffs Saturday in a loss to the 49ers.

“I’m going to use my platforms to speak more candidly and set the record straight on things that need to be straightened out. It’s just caring about the things that are important and my narrative is important.”

Earlier this month, during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers said, “There’s a lot of joy in being unapologetically yourself.”

At the time, he said he’s been able to be his authentic self due to years of “giving less f–ks.” It also coincided with a book he had read by Mark Manson titled, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F–k.”

Rodgers has spoken frequently about his decision not to get vaccinated and pushed against “cancel culture” that he is convinced is targeting him.

Rodgers kept that same energy after the Packers fell to the 49ers 13-10 in the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday.

The quarterback, who turned 38 in December, told reporters that he did doesn’t want to be part of a rebuild — if he continues to play.

Rodgers said he “can still play at a high level,” and he’s unsure about what the future holds in terms of his football career.
