GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — As Green Bay Packers players arrived for training camp on Tuesday, some people on Twitter noticed an interesting comparison.
The Packers' official Twitter account posted a video of Aaron Rodgers arriving Tuesday for camp. The video shows the legendary Packers quarterback walking in slow motion, wearing a white tank top and jeans, sporting long hair.

The two-time reigning MVP's look in the video prompted some Twitter accounts to make comparisons to Nicolas Cage's appearance in the 1997 movie, "Con Air."

A few other Twitter accounts decided to have fun with the original Packers video by editing it with audio from "Con Air."
