During last night’s penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, you probably missed a cameo appearance by one of the NFL’s highest paid quarterback, the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. It’s okay; you were understandably focused on other things. Watch below and see if you can spot the elusive QB during the chaos of King’s Landing’s downfall.
What, you didn’t see him? Here’s a better shot courtesy of Rodgers’ Instagram:
Rodgers, a self-professed fanatic of the show, had longed teased his cameo. Due to the NFL primarily playing on Sundays, Rodgers has long held to a 24-hour no spoilers rule.
Season 8 has been full of cameos. Former CIA director David Cohen showed up, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss snuck into a scene, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney and Silicon Valley star Martin Starr popped as a pair of Euron Greyjoy’s crew members in the first episode. And of course, who can forget that coffee cup?
Fellow NFL star (but on the field opponent) Joey Bosa of the Los Angeles Chargers was also rumored to have a cameo appearance, but to our knowledge has yet to appear on screen. If we were gonna make a cameo on Game of Thrones, we’d want it to be in the series finale. Keep your eyes peeled; who know who else might flash across the screen?
