Aaron Rodgers had a hidden cameo as a Lannister soldier in Game of Thrones

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has two NFL MVPs and a Super Bowl ring to his name. Will he add an Emmy to that list? Well, no, probably not. But Rodgers did make a surprise cameo in the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, which aired on HBO on Sunday night.

Rodgers is reportedly a "superfan" of the hit series and he's been teasing the possibility of serving as an extra on the show for a while, confirming it with an Instagram post before the episode aired.

Rodgers portrayed a Lannister soldier during the episode, but it likely required a lot of vigilance to actually catch the quarterback's fleeting moment on screen. He was armed with a bow, but it's unclear if his archery skills are as accurate as his throwing arm.

Despite the brevity of his appearance in the show, it won't be long before Rodgers is back on primetime television, when his Packers open the NFL season against the Chicago Bears. When that game comes around, he'll be in a starring role.
