At the golfing event, Aaron Rodgers had an interesting interaction with a fan. ML Football shared a clip of the quarterback signing autographs for fans on the sidelines. However, the 4x NFL MVP had his doubts about one fan and quizzed him to test his mettle.

The interaction ended with Rodgers not giving an autograph due to suspicion of him being a reseller, looking to make money off his name.

"If I would have believed you, I would have signed your thing," Rodgers said. "Since I don't believe you, I'm not going to sign it... Oh you're an autograph hound. Yeah you are. You can't fool me."

Apart from Aaron Rodgers, the American Century Championship Celebrity tournament was attended by other NFL stars, including Travis Kelce, Davante Adams and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The Super Bowl XLV champion had a disappointing campaign with the Jets last season. Rodgers managed to muster a 5-12 record while tallying 3,897 yards and 28 TDs passing on the field. However, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin believes in the veteran's ability to help break the team's playoff curse this upcoming season.
