Aaron Rodgers voted most inspirational player by Jets teammates
View Date:2025-01-11 03:25:02
New York Jets players voted injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the most inspirational player for the 2023 season.
Rodgers was traded to the Jets in April after spending his first 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, winning four NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl title.
"I've said it a million times: He loves his teammates, and his teammates love him," Jets head coach Robert Saleh said. "He's so intentional with how he approaches everybody in the building. He's very thoughtful in the way he does things, and he's a tremendous human. He's really well deserving of this award."
Rodgers' 2023 lasted a grand total of four plays as he tore his Achilles in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills. He returned to practice nearly three months later, but decided to shut down his season with the Jets well out of playoff contention.
While Rodgers has spent time being an inspiration to his teammates because of his speedy medical recovery, his off-the-field time has been spent talking weekly on ESPN's "Pat McAfee Show," where his comments about various topics have gotten him in the headlines.
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
That happened this week when Rodgers said that talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had a potential connection to the still forthcoming list of Jeffrey Epstein‘s associates, leading McAfee and ESPN to apologize.
Earlier this year, he called Kansas City Chiefs tight endTravis Kelce "Mr. Pfizer" because of his commercial telling people they can get flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time.
