Aaron Rodgers makes brief cameo in 'Game of Thrones'
Warning: This post contains minor spoilers from Season 8 of HBO's "Game of Thrones."
Aaron Rodgers' scene in "Game of Thrones" was as quick as his ability to improvise on a broken play.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback made a cameo in Sunday's penultimate episode of the hit series. Though it was initially rumored he was a Lannister soldier, an eagle-eyed viewer spotted a man resembling Rodgers attempting to escape dragon fire in King's Landing.

Rodgers isn't the first professional athlete to make a cameo in "Game of Thrones." New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard briefly appeared in episode four of season seven as a soldier launching a spear during battle.
