VIDEO: Aaron Rodgers Rolls up to Winnipeg Airport for Packers Preseason Game in a Canadian Tuxedo
By Michael Luciano
When you have the opportunity to play an NFL game in Canada, you have to ingratiate yourself with the locals. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took this mission statement to heart with his attire ahead of Green Bay's Thursday preseason matchup against Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders, showing up at the airport dressed head to toe in denim.

With the combination of the late 90s' all-denim outfit, Tom Selleck-esque mustache, a bolo tie that would make Philip Rivers jealous, and flashy shades, Rodgers -- not known round the league as a daring fashionista -- has certainly pulled off a bold look.
Despite the protestations of many around the league and online, Rodgers is going to get his first game action for Matt LaFleur and his offense tonight after being held out of the first two contests with a back injury. We'll finally get to see if LaFleur's offense meshes better with Rodgers than Mike McCarthy's increasingly archaic attack.

Rodgers and the Packers will face the newly-helmeted Antonio Brown and the Raiders in front of a monsoon of Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans when action kicks off north of the border.
