First, a Starbucks cup makes a cameo on a 'Game of Thrones' episode. And now it's Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers made a brief appearance in the show's penultimate episode, and fans were quick to notice.

Rodgers has been a long fan of the hit HBO show. He even hinted at his cameo earlier this month in an interview with Celebrity Page TV.

And this tweet back in April had many fans think Rodgers was heading to Westeros... at least for the fifth episode.

Rodgers was even part of a promo for the show's eighth and final season. He coined himself as "Lord Aaron of House Rodgers of Greenwater Bay, the true King in the North."
Time for the Season 1 play by play with Lord @AaronRodgers12 of Greenwater Bay.

Rodgers later confirmed his appearance in an Instagram post late Sunday night.
"It was just for a few seconds, but I’ll always be thankful to have been on the penultimate episode of @gameofthrones," Rodgers wrote.
The show's series finale is Sunday, May 19th.
