New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has dubbed Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce "Mr. Pfizer," as the latter is one of the new spokespeople for the COVID-19 vaccine. 

While Kelce had previously played it off, saying "I look like someone named Mr. Pfizer," he decided to take a slight jab at Rodgers during a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal. 

Rodgers, who has voiced his opinion on not wanting to take the coronavirus vaccine, used one of his "The Pat McAfee Show" appearances on Tuesdays to call Kelce "Mr. Pfizer." Kelce pointed out that those guest spots for Rodgers, who tore his Achilles just four plays into his Week 1 debut with the Jets, are his "game days" now.

"Aaron’s always been cool to me," Kelce said to the Wall Street Journal in an in-depth profile. "I knew he was trying to have some fun. 

"He’s in a situation where Tuesdays are his game days… So I get it, man, I’ve been injured too… Who knows what the guy is going through?"

Kelce divulged their conversation, which was seen on the MetLife Stadium turf that Sunday night.
