Aaron Rodgers was “tested” emotionally by the backlash from his comments about COVID-19 vaccines.

The Packers quarterback — during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” — was asked how he’s been able to weather the storm of negative opinions after accusations he misled the public about his vaccination status.

“I was definitely tested by some of the comments I heard. I’m human and stuff can definitely hurt your feelings,” Rodgers said, noting that he stands by his vaccination stance.

Last week, the reigning NFL MVP, after testing positive for COVID-19, confirmed to McAfee that he is unvaccinated against the virus after previous telling media he was “immunized.” He explained that he underwent an alternative treatment with his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels.

During his Tuesday appearance on the show, Rodgers said he’s been able to handle the scrutiny from politicians and celebrities, to internet critics, because he’s learned to love himself.

“I think first, if you find your identity in yourself, and you don’t find your identity in the opinions of others, you don’t need that validation and that love from other people. You can get it from yourself… I believe people are entitled to their opinion, even if it’s not an opinion that’s favorable to me.”

Moving forward, Rodgers said he plans to “continue to try and be the best version of me.” Though, his future plans likely won’t include another MVP campaign in his eyes.

When asked if it’s accurate that he will not win another MVP award, Rodgers laughed and said, “I think that’s a legitimate statement.”

The 37-year-old said he’s “excited” to return to the Packers (7-2) as soon as possible and expressed optimism that he could play Sunday against the Seahawks.
