Cam Newton says he supports Aaron Rodgers’ assertion that some people in the NFL used fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards rather than follow league vaccination protocols. Newton’s comments echo Rodgers’ remarks on the “Pat McAfee Show,” where Rodgers alleged that NFL players, coaches, and executives obtained fake documentation.
The two outlets align on the core claim and who is making it. Both report that Newton is backing Rodgers’ narrative and extending it to team-related personnel, including staff. However, the reports differ in emphasis: Fox highlights that Newton specifically points to “players, coaches and executives,” while the Washington Times frames the allegation more broadly around “players, coaches and team staff” during the 2021 protocols.
Neither account provides independent evidence or details confirming how widespread any alleged fraud was, and both present the statements as allegations attributed to the former players rather than as established findings.
