Tom Brady might have won another Super Bowl title in 2019, but Aaron Rodgers got to sit on the Iron Throne. The future football Hall of Famer was the latest celebrity to make a guest appearance on Game of Thrones in last night’s penultimate episode. The King of the North NFC division made a brief but memorable appearance as a fleeing Lannister soldier who gets chased down by Queen Daenerys’ fire-breathing dragon. The Green Bay Packers QB and avid GoT fan appeared in several promotional videos on Twitter to promote the HBO hit series’ final season.
Time for the Season 1 play by play with Lord @AaronRodgers12 of Greenwater Bay.

The country music star and GoT fanatic killed it as one the Night King’s undead soldiers.
