Aaron Rodgers has reportedly been working hard to make a comeback from his major season-ending Achilles injury last season. In his first year with the New York Jets, his campaign ended before it started. He was injured during the Jets’ first offensive drive of the entire season and couldn’t return for the remainder of the year.
With the 2024 NFL season inching closer, Rodgers looks healthy again. He has recently been doing on-field workouts and building himself back up in anticipation of Week 1. He was recently spotted throwing passes to Garrett Wilson, his top wide receiver.
NFL fans reacted to Rodgers’ shared practice session on social media.
Some fans were impressed by Rodgers:
“Still the best throwing form I have ever seen,” one fan tweeted on X.”On the toes and looking nimble,” another tweeted.
Other fans were not impressed:
“Lucky there’s no defense that throw was so far behind him,” one fan tweeted.”A 7-10 season never looked so good,” another fan tweeted.
Rodgers, 40, will enter the 2024 NFL season after coming off of a major injury without completing a single pass last season. He is doubtful if he will ever get back to his elite form.
On the more positive side, he is just two seasons removed from winning the NFL MVP award in two consecutive seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Hopefully, he can attain a similar form this year. Pair that with one of the best defenses in the NFL and it creates some optimism around the Jets.
Jets may use the 2024 NFL draft to get more help for Aaron RodgersAaron Rodgers
The New York Jets own the tenth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. They have the option to go in several different directions with this selection. However, many have predicted that they will be targeting another pass-catcher to add to their offense.
Garrett Wilson has been consistently dominant during his career so far, but the Jets lack depth in Rodgers’ passing options. With their current slot in the draft, they may target one of the top three elite wide receiver prospects or standout tight end Brock Bowers. This could potentially help Rodgers go back to his elite form.
