In the new docuseries, "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma," the New York Jets' quarterback takes viewers deep into his world.

Over the course of three one-hour episodes dropping Tuesday on Netflix, Rodgers comes across as a hypercompetitive athlete who struggled with fame after winning a Super Bowl in 2011, which led to an identity crisis that caused him to rebel from family and organized religion. He discovers his true self on a spiritual journey that includes psychedelics -- or "plant medicine," as he says.

In the second episode, we see Rodgers last offseason on an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, smoking a giant pipe, downing a brownish liquid that looks like mud water, dancing, playing the bongos and describing the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly while appearing glassy-eyed and quite giddy (wink, wink).
