Just like there are many, many very scientifically knowledgable and capable scientists and doctors who believe that the vaccine is the only way to become immune to covid-19. Science, by its very nature, allows for these differing views. Apparently, the doctor(s?) that Rodgers has seen fall in the former camp rather than the latter.

Rodgers didn't talk to any doctors or scientists about getting alternative options for Covid immunity. Instead, he evidently talked to "doctors" and "scientists."
Specifically:

While Rodgers said at an August press conference that he’d been “immunized,” it turns out—according, at least, to a vaguely-sourced NFL.com report—that he meant that he’d received an alternative homeopathic treatment meant to “raise his antibody levels.”

To be clear: homeopathy is quackery. If you don't believe me, take a look at some of
James Randi's videos where he overdoses on homeopathic sleeping pills. Rodgers might as well have gone to a tribal witch doctor or the QAnon Shaman - the result would have been the same.
Isaac Asimov once said something like "your ignorance isn't the equivalent to my knowledge." In the same vein, I think the NFL is entitled to say to Rodgers "your sugar pills are not equivalent to an actual vaccine."
