During his induction into the Packers Hall of Fame, former linebacker Clay Matthews took the opportunity to roast his longtime teammate Aaron Rodgers with a humorous jab that had the crowd in stitches. Matthews, known for his fierce play on the field and light-hearted personality off it, didn’t miss a beat as he delivered a playful dig at Rodgers during his speech.

“Unfortunately, Aaron couldn’t be here today and rightfully so,” Matthews quipped, drawing laughter from the audience. “But he did text me early today that he was going to lock himself in a dark closet, sip on some ayahuasca, and join us in spirit. So, thank you Aaron… wherever you are.”

The joke, referencing Rodgers’ well-known openness about his ayahuasca experiences and recent time away from the Packers, perfectly captured the camaraderie and playful dynamic the two shared during their years together in Green Bay. Matthews’ speech was a mix of gratitude, nostalgia, and humor, reflecting on his storied career with the Packers and the relationships that defined it.

The moment was a highlight of the evening, showcasing Matthews’ charm and the close bond he shared with his former teammates, including Rodgers, who continues to be a central figure in NFL conversations even from afar.
