Eight-time Olympic gold medallist sprinter and Green Bay Packers fan Usain Bolt doesn't want to see Aaron Rodgers in another NFL uniform this season.

Bolt, who once expressed interest in playing alongside Rodgers, issued a plea for the reigning NFL MVP to stick with the Packers during an interview with Sports Illustrated on Thursday.

"Last year, we were very close. We were so close. And I feel like this year, we had the draft, we got a lot of good players this season and a lot of guys have stayed - Davante Adams and everybody," Bolt said. "So I need Aaron Rodgers to stay. Aaron Rodgers, please stay at Green Bay. We need you."

Rodgers has spent his entire 16-year NFL career in Green Bay, but his future remains murky following reports that he declined a lucrative two-year extension offer from the Packers this offseason.
