In case you were wondering, JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers won't be handing out any roses to Jordan's big brother, Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

Despite the "Bachelor" franchise name-dropping Jordan Rodgers' NFL brother on the show on numerous occasions, it doesn't sound like he'll be making an appearance anytime soon. On Monday's episode of "The Bachelor," Jordan opened up to JoJo about his strained and tense relationship with his famous big brother.

"My middle brother won't be there, Aaron," said Jordan. "I have a great relationship with my [oldest] brother Luke, [but] me and Aaron don't really have that much of a relationship. It's just kind of the way he's chosen to do life and I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother."

"It's not ideal," he added. "I love him and I can't imagine what I's like to be in his shoes and to have the demands from people that he [has]. I don't have hard feelings against him, it's just how things go right now."

JoJo then asked if his famous bro even knew he signed up for "The Bachelorette," to which Jordan responded, "I don't think so."

Jordan explained that, while growing up, he was always in his brother's shadow and could never measure up, despite making an NFL team as well. He always felt "disappointed" in himself.

"No matter what I did, it was never good enough for a coach or for a teammate, because I was being compared to someone who did it the best," he said. "I could've kept playing, but football didn't define me. Not having a great relationship with my brother Aaron, or what people think that relationship should be, didn't define me. I'm defined by the character I have."

Clearly, JoJo seemed concerned about the situation, because in a new clip for next week's episode, she's seen asking the eldest Rodgers' brother, Luke, about Aaron's relationship with the family. She promptly gets shut down and is told, "We don't really talk about that."

It looks like the Rodgers' family drama is about to get aired on national television -- leading many of us to wonder what Aaron thinks about all of this.
