If nothing else, Green Bay Packers star quarterback and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers seems to be having fun during the offseason and preseason portions of the football calendar.
It probably doesn't hurt that Rodgers and the Packers came to terms on a massive extension back in March that gave the four-time NFL Most Valuable Player millions of reasons to smile.
Since Rodgers put pen to paper on that deal, he's arrived at training camp dressed as Nicolas Cage’s character from the "Con Air" movie, jokingly admitted he won't be playing through and beyond his 45th birthday, and openly spoken about drinking a psychoactive tea.
Rodgers gave reporters a new reason to laugh on Tuesday.
Per TMZ Sports, the 38-year-old showed media members a bust of none other than Cage that he now keeps in his Green Bay locker:
As Christian D'Andrea noted in a For The Win piece, Rodgers claimed that "somebody just sent this to me yesterday with no message."
Meanwhile, one reporter joked how Rodgers' replica is similar to Hall of Fame busts that "don't look like the Hall of Famer."

"There could be a camera in there," somebody else warned.
Rodgers may want to be careful, as he'd probably prefer to avoid accidentally becoming the victim of a different "Spygate" NFL scandal so late into his career.
