Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce denied any friction between him and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

On Tuesday, Kelce appeared on Paper Route and addressed Rodgers’ comments from the October 3 episode of the Pat McAfee Show.

Following the Chiefs’ 23-20 win over the Jets on October 1, Rodgers, 39, appeared on the program and referred to Kelce, 34, as ‘Mr. Pfizer‘. Rodgers also challenged Kelce to a debate over the Covid-19 vaccine. 

‘To each his own and I think he was just having fun with it,’ Kelce said. 

‘He has his ways. He has his thoughts how he feels about things,’ Kelce added. ‘And he has the right to have that. How you feel about certain things is up to you.’

Rodgers made headlines in 2021 as sports were returning from the hiatus caused by the pandemic. The then-Packers quarterback refused to get the Pfizer vaccine due to being allergic to one of the ingredients in the mRNA vaccines.

As for the remaining option, Rodgers did not want to take get the Johnson & Johnson shot after seeing people suffer adverse effects from the vaccine. Rodgers then appealed to enter an immunization protocol but had his petition rejected by the NFL. 

In a January episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers addressed the situation and  called out Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson for the negative press.

Rodgers’ comments on Kelce were inspired by Kelce’s appearance in a Pfizer ad in September. 

‘Who knew I’d get into vax wars with Aaron Rodgers, man?’ Kelce said. ‘Mr. Pfizer against the Johnson & Johnson family over there.’ 

Kelce was seen embracing and laughing with the injured Rodgers on the before their Week 4 showdown with the Jets. 

‘You’re not going to see me up here going in the great debate against Aaron Rodgers over something like that. I think it’s all fun and games, at least between us, and I got all the respect for him.’
