Aaron Rodgers was one of the New York Jets’ highest-profile acquisitions of the 2023 off-season after being brought over in a trade with the Green Bay Packers. The trade excited Jets fans, who thought all their quarterback problems had been solved.

Unfortunately, that was far from the case, as the 2021 NFL MVP winner went down with an injury less than five minutes into the Jets 2023 home opener against the Bills. That injury kept him sidelined for the rest of the 2023 season, which may be why this Jets practice clip unsettles fans.

In the clip, Rodgers can be seen sitting on the back of a trailer with a trainer attending to his feet on what some seem to think is an injury. However, it doesn’t seem to have affected the 40-year-old, as he was seen slinging the ball once he was done being tended to.

 

Aaron Rodgers Practices After Treatment

One NFL fan pointed out that he is a “40-year-old quarterback with a lot of miles on him.” He pointed out that the fans have a right to be worried, as Rodgers has yet to prove that he is able to return to his MVP style of play.

Another fan criticized Rodgers’s decision to return to the NFL this season. He called the Jets signal caller “nuts for even attempting another season,” pointing to the fact that the NFL veteran has no reason to come back and play as he would be “great in the booth.”

It should be noted that the last time Aaron Rodgers saw meaningful playing time was in 2022. He played 17 games, passing for nearly 3,700 yards and 26 touchdowns compared to just 12 interceptions, yet the Packers failed to make the playoffs.

New York Jets fans hope that Rodgers can make a complete comeback in 2024 after a tough 2023 season. If he can return to form, the Jets could make a Super Bowl run, and we could see them in New Orleans in February.

NFL fans are in awe over a viral video of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing a gem of a no-look deep ball during practice.

Aaron Rodgers is entering his second season with the Jets, looking to help the franchise end a 14-year playoff drought in 2024. Unfortunately, Rodgers’ first year with New York ended minutes into his debut against the Buffalo Bills last year when he suffered a season-ending Achilles tear.

But Rodgers is near full strength and will be ready for the team’s Week 1 season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, his boyhood team, in a “Monday Night Football” showdown at Levi’s Stadium.

Judging by this jaw-dropping no-look throw he made during Jets practice, the 40-year-old certainly looks ready for game action:

Here’s how social media reacted to Rodgers’ ridiculous Patrick Mahomes-like pass:

The Jets acquired the 10-time Pro Bowler in a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. But the Jets’ offense predictably unraveled without their superstar QB, and the team limped to a disappointing 7-10 finish.

New York’s 14-year postseason drought is currently the longest in football. But if Rodgers stays healthy and plays up to his usual standards, the Jets should have no problem ending that drought once and for all.

Jets Have Revamped The Supporting Cast Around Aaron Rodgers

Even before Aaron Rodgers suffered his season-ending injury, the New York offensive line was a major concern among the fans. But GM Joe Douglas didn’t want to waste any time rebuilding the unit around the four-time league MVP, so he added three new veteran starters in John Simpson, Morgan Moses and future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith.

Douglas also used his first-round pick on Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, ensuring valuable offensive line depth. He signed former 1,000-yard wide receiver Mike Williams following the latter’s release from the Los Angeles Chargers, giving Rodgers yet another playmaking weapon to take this offense to another level.
