Aaron and Jordan played football growing up and in college, with Aaron being a first-round draft pick in 2005 by the Green Bay Packers. But he was released by three NFL teams before pursuing other opportunities.

“People ask me, ‘Is there hope for reconciliation?’ and I say, ‘Yes, of course. Of course,'” Aaron said on the Netflix show. “I don’t want them to fail, struggle, have any conflicts or problems. I don’t want them to have any ill intentions at all. It’s more like this – we’re just different steps on the timeline of our own journeys.
