He did not participate on The Bachelorette 2016 to get him a wife but was more interested in becoming famous as his football career had come to an end.

Rodgers, who has begun to lose the support of his fellow contestants, also opened up about his frosty relationship with his older brother, National Football League star Aaron Rodgers, who is now dating X-Men: Apocalypse actress Munn.
On the episode, Jordan threw Aaron under the bus by saying the Packers’ gunslinger doesn’t stay very close to his family.
There was some vague talk about Jordan disapproving of his brother’s lack of closeness to the family, including oldest brother Luke, and some backtracking of the criticism, but it’s clear that there’s a rift of some sort. Whether you like him or not, he has a personality: humble Texas good ol’ boy with a big heart and an insecurity-fueled dark side, as shown in his attempts to undermine Jordan and Robby when they were doing better than him.
Aaron won’t be showing up during the hometown date next week, and who knows what his relationship with Jordan could be moving forward? Fletcher will meet Rodgers’ family in the next episode, although Jordan said on Monday that Aaron Rodgers won’t be part of that.
“My middle brother won’t be there, Aaron”, said Jordan, who recently scored a new sports television gig with the SEC Network, said.
I for sure thought Robby was a goner tonight, but the bearded man-with an odd, but seemingly natural Bump It-snagged a rose from JoJo.
Jordan then admitted that he is “so in love” with JoJo, and “it’s so real”.
Last month, Jordan told Garbage Time host Katie Nolan that his relationship with the Green Bay Packers starting quarterback was “complicated”. Alex, Jordan and Luke were chosen to be alone with JoJo, and Robby, James and Chase got the group treatment. To be fair, Jordan did acknowledge that he couldn’t imagine all of the pressure his brother has on him and he doesn’t have hard feelings against him.
JoJo is just starting to voice her worries that Robby isn’t over his ex or ready to get engaged. They knew plenty about the various techniques and weren’t afraid to try them out on JoJo. My brother is probably one of the most competitive people I know other than myself. “I think I’m falling in love with you”, Alex said.
Next week is hometown dates, and each of the four remaining contenders will be getting a lot of screentime and backstory as viewers meet their families.
“And not having a great relationship with my brother Aaron, or what people think that relationship should be, didn’t define me”, he said.
“So you guys don’t talk at all”, JoJo confirmed.
Yes, it’s taken me this long to keep them all straight.
