LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Aaron Rodgers injured his left ankle in his debut match with the New York Jets on April 26, 2023, and since then, both Rodgers and his fans have been eagerly awaiting his return to the NFL field. Hold your breath as the time has finally arrived. His recovery has been special for two reasons: one, his return to the Jets is something we have been waiting for quite some time, and secondly, his journey after the injury will be documented in a Netflix docuseries titled 'Aaron Rodgers: Enigma'.

The on and off-field life of the American footballer has always been a center of attraction. From his impressive career as a quarterback to his public discussions about using ayahuasca, his personal life and professional achievements often spark conversations. In the Netflix docuseries, we expect to get a deeper look into his mindset, especially after his Achilles injury, while also giving a glimpse to viewers how he approaches both football and life.
