Aaron Rodgers got out of Peru in dramatic fashion before borders close due to coronavirus

Aaron Rodgers is back at home in California after making it out of Peru just before that country shut down its borders to slow the coronavirus outbreak.

On the radio with Pat McAfee and A.J. Hawk on Friday, the Green Bay Packers quarterback said he was traveling with three other people in Peru nine days ago and was able to fly out just under the wire.

“That was quite the ordeal,” Rodgers said. “Have you seen the movie ‘Argo’? You have? The scene at the end where they’re racing to the airport. Nobody was chasing us, thankfully, or holding us. We didn’t have to speak Farsi to get back into the country, but there were some moments where we worried we were not going to get out. It was absolute pandemonium at the airport.”
