Three-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers admitted on Tuesday that he had misled people about his COVID-19 vaccination status, having previously insisted that he had not lied about whether his had been immunized against the virus.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback, who is unvaccinated, tested positive for COVID-19 last week and received widespread criticism for telling reporters in August that he was "immunized" when asked if he had been vaccinated.

Days after he tested positive, the former Super Bowl champion defiantly told "The Pat McAfee Show" that he had not lied, but returned to the program on Tuesday to clarify his comments.
