"Game of Thrones" has really been good about including some surprise cameos in its final season. Minor spoilers ahead.
The latest megafan to get his 15 seconds of "Thrones" fame is Super Bowl champ and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
(MORE: 'Game of Thrones' recap: Daenerys makes her move, while many perish in another bloody battle)"It was just for a few seconds, but I’ll always be thankful to have been on the penultimate episode of @gameofthrones," the star player wrote early Monday morning on Instagram.
The football star has been a huge fan of the show for years, always commenting on people sharing spoilers (he's against it) and told reporters earlier this year that he might make a little cameo on the popular HBO show.
"Thrones" also teased a Rodgers cameo last year with this epic video.

Sadly, Rodgers was burned by a dragon in battle.

Long live the QB in the North!
The very last "Thrones" debuts next Sunday and is sure to have yet another A-list cameo. Only time will tell who finally takes the Iron Throne.
