Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers Mix Things Up With Fans at Celebrity Golf Event

During the second practice round of the American Century Championship, the author nearly collided with NFL MVP Josh Allen on Hole No. 1. Allen, attempting to sign autographs for a large group of fans despite initially saying he would sign after his round, almost ran into the author. Allen's athleticism allowed him to avoid a collision before continuing to sign autographs and take selfies.

Allen proved extremely popular with fans at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, ranking among the top four most sought-after participants alongside Stephen Curry, George Kittle, and Aaron Rodgers. Fans frequently asked "Where's Josh Allen?" and were visibly thrilled upon spotting him, highlighting the tournament's appeal for fan-athlete interaction, exemplified by a group of ecstatic kids getting a photo with him.

A notable incident involved Aaron Rodgers refusing to sign memorabilia for a fan carrying an item from the 2005 Packers-Saints game. Rodgers, recognizing the fan as a frequent autograph seeker (calling him an "autograph hound"), quizzed him on details of the Packers' 52-3 win. When the fan incorrectly recalled the score and couldn't state how many snaps Rodgers played in garbage time, Rodgers declined to sign, stating, "I don't believe you... You can't fool me."
