Rodgers bonding with Jets teammates in Big Apple spotlight

Associated Press  

Aaron Rodgers was sitting alone in the dark two months ago, pondering his future while many speculated about his next move. “But the reality of it is it’s awesome, man.” After an offseason that included Rodgers going on an isolation retreat in Oregon and deciding to continue his playing career — and with the Jets — the four-time NFL MVP was formally introduced by New York last Wednesday after acquiring him from Green Bay. “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know who that is.’ He looked at me like I’m crazy.” Rodgers probably would’ve had a similar look a few months ago if someone had told him he’d be calling the New York/New Jersey area home — as a member of the Jets. “And it was like, all right, let’s get to work so we can give him more opportunities to throw the ball.” The Jets are counting on Rodgers doing that and jumpstarting an offense that ranked near the bottom of the league in several categories the past two years with Zach Wilson struggling in then-coordinator Mike LaFleur’s system. “It’s like the first day of school every single day,” Rodgers said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “Everything’s new and exciting and fun.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL
