It was a photo of him behind the scenes while being decked out as a soldier running for his life as Daenerys sets fire to the King’s Landing in “The Bells.”
The talented QB, though, never revealed the exact moment he would be coming up in the scene. It was following his appearance on the ’10 Questions With Kyle Brandt’ show that fans were able to locate him.
While talking about his appearance and clearing up confusion, Rodgers states, “I had a very brief time. Arya is running through the streets, trying to get out. And there is a scene where she comes down these steps and I’m there. They flip it around, and you can see me briefly again. So it was a ‘right there’ and ‘right there’ moment, and it was fun to be part of it.”

But host Brandt did share his criticisms about the production and their efforts to bring in the reigning league MVP. He believes that all of their efforts were laid to waste by the lazy scriptwriters.
It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, which might have been annoying for many NFL fans.
While being part of any project as big as Game of Thrones might have been exciting, the end product for Rodgers might have left him wanting more. The NFL fans will look forward to welcoming him back away from the fantasy world as the 2022 NFL campaign kicks off.
