Rodgers also spoke about his plans for the future and it includes kids. 

The "next great challenge will be being a father," he said. I'm "in the age group where a lot of my close friends from high school and college are fathers now and have families of their own," he added. 

Rodgers quickly clarified that kids are not "in the immediate future but definitely something I look forward to, it's gonna be a really fun challenge."

Woodley, 29, confirmed their engagement on an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

"I never thought I'd be engaged to someone who threw balls for a living," the actress joked.

The "Big Little Lies" star added that she has "yet to go to a football game and before I'd met him, I'd never seen one football game before... I didn't really grow up with sports, especially American sports, it was never really on my radar."

Woodley added, "I don't know him as the football guy, I know him as the nerd that wants to host 'Jeopardy!,' that's the dude I know."
