Say what you want, but Aaron Rodgers is not holding back this 2023 NFL season. The New York Jets star quarterback not only hit the field for OTAs with his team, he’s also been hitting the gym and it is paying off for sure.
Rodgers is only 39 years old, yet everyone dishes on him, calling him an old-timer in the league as if there isn’t another quarterback currently playing in the league who is several years old — like, be real. Yes, I mean Tom Brady, and no, don’t even get me started on his ability to play at his age, or lack thereof. Anyways, Rodgers gets called an old-timer and gets made fun of for his ayahuasca vacations, but the man is clearly doing just fine. And I mean FOOOINE.
So, as you can see, Rodgers is looking anything but like an old-timer. Someone might even say Rodgers is in the best shape of his professional career. And someone might say the Jets can actually be Super Bowl contenders in this upcoming season. Don’t listen to what Ndamukong Suh said about Rodgers and the Jets; he’s just being salty. There’s been nothing but “glowing reviews” about Rodgers, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who reported recently, “I’m told that he’s had glowing reviews in that building and has really been a game-changer since he showed up for OTAs.”
Since moving to New York, we’ve seen a new, lighter version of Rodgers. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we saw the same change in Brady when he made his move to Tampa Bay. And what happened? The Buccs got themselves a shiny, new Super Bowl win to go with a title in Brady’s first season.
