The NFL is famous for using microphones on its players to give fans a listen to things that are done and said on the field.

Aaron Rodgers thinks it was a microphone that was responsible for a punctured lung sustained by teammate Randall Cobb last year in the playoffs.

Rodgers made the revelation on a podcast with former teammate A.J. Hawk, which was then transcribed by Profootballtalk.com.

“Randall Cobb had a serious injury last year in a playoff game, and I believe, as I think, as he would as well and the team, that was caused from him being mic’d up,” Rodgers said. “Because he fell on his mic pack and he had an injury to his insides that kept him out of the game and probably would have kept him out of the playoffs. The puncture spot, or the injury spot, was directly adjacent to his mic pack.”

Rodgers made it clear he’s not a fan of having players mic’d.

“You have mics on both guards most of the time and you pick up everything a quarterback says when we’re at home, and sometimes on the road as well, and I think that’s a competitive advantage for the defense,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers said he doesn’t feel comfortable wearing a microphone and that it “takes away the authenticity,” joking that if the league insists on “Go-Pro” style helmets for video, he’d pack it up and call it a career.
