Aaron Rodgers hilariously likes a tweet saying he'll teach Jordan Travis about ayahuasca after his Jets drafted the former Florida State quarterback to be his backup... and the rookie likes it too!

Aaron Rodgers and his new backup Jordan Travis are already in agreement on one thing: Ayahuasca.

The 40-year-old New York Jets quarterback and psychedelic proponent raised eyebrows by liking a post on X that referenced his enthusiasm for the psychoactive brew.

'Get ready to learn ayahuasca, Jordan Travis,' one Jets fan wrote after the Jets took the former Florida State quarterback in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Sunday.


Not only did Rodgers endorse the post, but Travis, himself, ended up 'liking' a screen grab of it as well.

Rodgers has a well-known affinity for ayahuasca – a tea made from the stems of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub. During his frequent on-air appearances with ESPN's Pat McAfee and podcast Joe Rogan, Rodgers has often discussed his growing fascination with psychedelic drugs, admitting to using ayahuasca during a 2020 trip to Peru.

'[There was] me and me after ayahuasca,' Rodgers told Rogan.

The psychedelic trip did not violate NFL rules on prohibited substances, but it did give him new perspective on himself and his connection to 'all sentient beings and all plants and fungi.'

Rodgers didn't previously consider himself to be a bitter person, but after ayahuasca, he thinks he's done a better job of shedding negativity.

'Of my previous self, I feel like the anger and bitterness and resentment and negativity, that I kinda like, standard, walk around with — and it wasn't like a super-high level — but I felt like coming out of those experiences, it's like: 'that s*** don't even matter,' he said. 'Like, kindness matters. Connection matters.

'Being present with people, having conversations matters,' Rodgers continued, adding emphasis as he began targeting digital communication. 'Putting your f***ing technology away and connecting with them — because I think, on a deeper level, we all just want to be seen and understood — and that's why social media is such a platform, because everyone is just: 'f***ing look at me! This is my opinion, and it f***ing matters!'

In 2023, Rodgers spoke at a psychedelic conference in Colorado, where psilocybin mushroom have been decriminalized.

Speaking in 2022 with Rogan, a longtime comedian whose advice he sought while battling COVID-19, Rodgers suggested that a lot of the world's problems could be fixed if more people took psychedelic mushrooms.

Rogan was in immediate agreement.

'Isn't it funny that that sounds like a crazy thing to say, but that would literally fix the world: if more people had psychedelic trips and more people had more experiences that dissolved their ego and more people had an understanding that community isn't just a bunch of people that live together, it's a bunch of people that care about each other — and that we could treat the world like a community,' Rogan said.

'Couldn't agree with you more,' Rodgers replied.

Rogan asked how my psychedelic use takes place among NFL players, but Rodgers declined, saying he didn't really know.

What the California native did know is that the revelation of his ayahuasca trip piqued the interest of a variety of people.

'It's been really interesting to see the people reaching out, across the league — and there's been a lot of people outside the league, entertainers, sports people, just friends from the past, people who work at the [Packers practice] facility, just the 9-to-5 people — all interested in plant medicine,' Rodgers said.

'I think it's been really interesting. I think there's a hunger for what I experienced, what you talked about on mushrooms — this death of the ego, this realization that we're all connected, this greater sense of what community is.'

Rodgers says the use of psychedelics can help beat depression by teaching people to love themselves.

'… when you dissolve the ego, the amount of love that you can give back to yourself and then other people, it takes away, for me, so much judgement of myself and others, so much separation between myself and others,' Rodgers continued.

'The greater sense of connection was overwhelming when I kind of came out of that and got back to 'reality,' or whatever. It's like 'oh s***, now here's the integration.' Here's me in a different form. Here's my reflection that I see of myself and you, and we're all f***ing connected in such a deeper way. Just doing a plant that's been used for generations in the Amazon jungles. And I got the same feeling on mushrooms as well — just an incredible connection to nature and life and all sentient beings and all plants and fungi.'

General manager Joe Douglas kept wheeling and dealing throughout the three days of the NFL draft as the Jets focused mostly on the offense to improve a unit that was among the league's worst with Rodgers missing all but four snaps last season.

'It honestly just fell that way with the board,' said Douglas, who used the first five of New York's seven picks on offensive players.

Rodgers is back from a torn left Achilles tendon and Douglas used free agency and then the draft to solidify things around the four-time NFL MVP.

The Jets took Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu at No. 11 overall after trading down one spot with Minnesota on Thursday night. After not having a second-rounder, New York traded up seven spots with Carolina in the third to lead off the round by selecting Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley.

Douglas kept dealing Saturday, trading defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers to Denver for a 2026 sixth-rounder and moving down three times in the fourth round.

At No. 134, the Jets stuck with offense and took Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen, who joins Breece Hall and Israel Abanikanda in the backfield. New York later added to that group by taking South Dakota State's Isaiah Davis in the fifth round.

With the first of their three fifth-rounders, the Jets took Travis, a developmental player who'll be able to sit behind Rodgers and backup Tyrod Taylor. New York wrapped up the round with its first defensive selection: cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers, who never played college ball and was the CFL's most outstanding rookie last season.

The Jets' final pick was also the last of the draft - 'Mr. Irrelevant' - with New York taking Alabama safety Jaylen Key.

Fashanu is projected as a left tackle, so he'll likely sit as a rookie behind Tyron Smith - the former Penn State star's idol and the player he modeled himself after becoming an offensive lineman in high school.

Fashanu was a two-year starter at left tackle for the Nittany Lions and allowed only one sack in his entire college career - against Ohio State last season.

And it didn't sit well with him.

'That game definitely wasn´t one of my better games in my career and I beat myself up pretty hard about it the days after, but I ended up just using that game as a learning experience,' Fashanu said. 'I really watched myself in that game multiple times, tried to find all the different flaws I had in that game, and I built upon it.'

Corley had 79 catches for 894 yards and a Conference USA-leading 11 TD receptions last season for Western Kentucky. He also set the school record with 259 career receptions.

But it was what he did with the ball in his hands that really impressed the Jets, who envision pairing him with Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams.

'He makes DBs pay,' coach Robert Saleh said. 'The guy doesn't run out of bounds. I joked with Joe [Douglas] this morning: If he had a relative sitting at the goal line, he´s going to run him over, too.'

Corley, who led the country with 1,674 yards after catch and 55 broken tackles the last two seasons, said his new coach's scouting report was spot on.

'Dang right, I definitely would!' said a laughing Corley, who has the nickname 'YAC King' in his social media bios. 'My brother's 6-foot-3, 250 (pounds) and every single day over the summer, me and him are fully padded up together, going at it every day. He's the safety, I'm the receiver. I catch the ball and make moves and I lower my shoulder on him every time, so I'm used to that.'

As he was about to begin his video conference call with reporters, Travis could be seen wiping a tear.

The former Florida State quarterback said his 'emotions are kind of everywhere right now' after being taken by the Jets. Travis, a dual-threat who set the school record with 97 career touchdowns, broke his left ankle last November, ending his final season with the Seminoles.

The Jets needed a young quarterback with an eye on the future after trading Zach Wilson to Denver earlier this week. The eighth QB taken this year, Travis will be able to pick the brains of the 40-year-old Rodgers and 34-year-old Taylor to start his NFL career.

'I love watching Aaron Rodgers, ever since I was a little boy,' he said. 'I mean, he´s one of my brother´s favorite quarterbacks, so I´ve always watched him. To have an opportunity to go work with him and learn from him is such a blessing.'
