New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he chose to continue playing football rather than consider running for vice president on a ticket with independent Robert Kennedy Jr.
Rodgers spoke to reporters Tuesday and said he would have had to retire from the NFL if he pursued the VP job.
"I love Bobby. We had a couple really nice conversations. But there were really two options. It was retire and be his VP or keep playing, and I want to keep playing," Rodgers said.
Kennedy is running as a third-party independent in the November presidential election.
