Aaron Rodgers showing the Jets that the red zone shouldn’t be a danger zone for them this season

Associated Press  

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — With a few perfectly placed passes, Aaron Rodgers gave the New York Jets a glimpse of what they sorely missed last season with him on the sideline. The 40-year-old quarterback efficiently tossed the football around during the team’s third practice of training camp Friday — and was deadly accurate in the red zone. Tyrod Taylor, Rodgers’ veteran backup, also led the Jets to a score in the red zone, finding Jeremy Ruckert for a touchdown. “When you’re playing a veteran like that, when you get to the red zone, everything is faster,” Saleh said. So, every time you step on the field, you’ve got to bring your ‘A’ game.” Rodgers was unofficially 4 of 6 in his two red zone drives, and 6 of 8 throughout 11-on-11 team drills against the starting defense.
