An apparent mugshot drawn in pencil is currently making the rounds, especially among Facebook users from the USA: A man is said to have tortured 11 small bears and is now on the run!

Here we see one of the current posts:

In German the post says:

“Chicago police are looking for this man.
He is wanted on animal cruelty charges for torturing 11 bear cubs. He weighs about 225 pounds and is about 6ft 2in tall. It should be noted that he is armed and dangerous. If anyone knows of his whereabouts, please contact the Chicago Police Department as soon as possible. Word is he’s traveled north!”

Down! – Set! - Cap !

The face will be familiar to fans of American football: it is Aaron Rodgers , who plays in the NFL (National Football League) for the Green Bay Packers.

And the alleged phantom drawing is a pencil painting by “Hetro4” on DeviantArt .

And why is it said that Aaron Rodgers tortures bears?

Well, he actually did in a figurative sense!
On September 9, 2018, the day before the widely circulated posting appeared on Facebook, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 24:23 in the Sunday Night Game. The undisputed star of the game was Aaron Rodgers, who, with an injured knee, turned around the game that already seemed lost for the Packers.

Conclusion

The supposed wanted report with a phantom photo is not real, it is more of a joke , but it is taken seriously by a surprising number of US citizens, since not everyone watches American football.
The man is Aaron Rodgers, and figuratively speaking, he actually tormented the Chicago Bears with his comeback in the game.
