Could Aaron Rodgers one day connect with pal Odell Beckham Jr. on the field?
The Packers quarterback, 38, doesn’t appear to be opposed to the idea, which he touched upon Tuesday during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

Obviously, with a player like that, you’re always hoping there’s a time where you can figure things out and play together.”
Beckham, who is currently a free agent, is working his way back from a torn ACL he sustained in the Super Bowl back in February. Though the 29-year-old receiver has had no shortage of suitors in recent months — the Bills and Rams, in particular — Beckham has been keeping an eye on Rodgers’ game, even praising the reigning league MVP in a tweet.
“AR is too [fire emoji]…. Honestly bro makes it look Effortlesss,” Beckham wrote Sunday, the same day Green Bay defeated New England in overtime.
When a follower replied, “Lot of damage could be done with you and Rodgers,” Beckham responded, “Who u tellin. That’s a different breed right there.”
Though it remains to be seen just where Beckham will land this season, speculation mounted Monday that the Giants could possibly be a late-round entrant when it was reported he visited his friend and former teammate, Sterling Shepard, at the facility. The Post’s Paul Schwartz verified that Beckham’s visit was not an official one with the team.
Beckham began his NFL career with the Giants in 2014, when the team drafted him 12th overall. He was traded to the Browns in 2019 and made his way out of Cleveland last fall, when he eventually landed with the Rams.
