The New York Jets quarterback attended the show with his teammate C.J. Uzomah.
NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the football field for a night to attend the 2023 Tony Awards -- and his appearance at Broadway's biggest night quickly went viral.
Rodgers and his New York Jets teammate, C.J. Uzomah, were spotted posing on the red carpet at the 76th annual event held at United Palace in New York.
The football star -- who was recently transferred to the Jets and has been spotted attending events such as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour -- cleaned up nice for the occasion in a metallic brown suit.
Fans couldn't help but notice the New York Jets quarterback looking hilariously confused in the Tony Awards audience and took to Twitter to share screenshots of the broadcast.
"Aaron Rodgers looks like he just spotted a member of his family at the Tonys," one Twitter user wrote.
"Aaron Rodgers at the Tonys listening to a song about corn. What a time to be alive," another user said.
"Sorry, did I just see Aaron Rodgers at the Tonys?" a Twitter user questioned.
Another tweeted, "LMAO WTF IS AARON RODGERS DOING AT THE TONYS?????"
