Football fans have plenty to look forward to in December. Netflix recently confirmed the release date for Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, which follows the New York Jets quarterback as he recovers from the devastating injury that cut his previous NFL season short. If you’re curious about exactly what it takes to make a comeback, you might want to mark your calendars.
After being traded to the Jets in 2023, Rodgers only got to play four offensive snaps in his first season with the team before being diagnosed with an Achilles tendon rupture. The Netflix docuseries chronicles his recovery and promises to reveal a side of the athlete not many get to see.

At the same time, the docuseries is set to explore his life outside the field and share intimate details about Rodgers’ career, painting a fuller picture of the four-time MVP’s story. In a first-look clip, fans can see Rodgers processing his injury in a private jet, with his leg elevated.

Best known for his 18-year tenure with the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers holds records for the highest career passer rating and lowest interception percentage in NFL history.
