In OUT OF THE DARKNESS: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers (Mariner Books), four-time New York Times bestselling author Ian O’Connor delivers the first definitive biography of the NFL’s most captivating and polarizing figure, Aaron Rodgers. From his controversial stances and spiritual awakenings to personal struggles and professional triumphs, Rodgers' story is as compelling as it is complex. Drawing on 250 exclusive interviews (including one with Rodgers himself specifically for this book), O’Connor pulls back the curtain on this enigmatic superstar at the perfect time, as Rodgers begins his 20th NFL season and launches his comeback from the devastating Achilles injury that ended his 2023 season just four plays into his New York Jets career. With incredible access to Rodgers’ professional and personal world—including his family, from whom he has famously been estranged for many years—O’Connor reveals an intimate, in-depth, never-before-seen-view of Rodgers, both on and off the field. Ian O’Connor is the author of five previous books, including four straight New York Times bestsellers—Coach K, Belichick, The Captain, and Arnie & Jack. He has finished in first place twenty times in national writing contests, including those conducted by the Pro Football Writers of America, Golf Writers Association of America, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the Associated Press Sports Editors, who named him the No. 1 columnist in the country in his circulation category three times. O’Connor has been a columnist at ESPN, The New York Post, USA Today, and The New York Daily News. #nyjets #nypost #aaronrodgers #nfl
