Aaron Rodgers will play for the New York Jets in a regular season match on Monday for the first time since September 11, 2023.
His presence is long overdue for Jets fans starved for excellent quarterback play. And if Rodgers delivers in line with his almost 20 years of elite performance, he will make the New York’s faithfuls’ dream a reality.
Although, this is not Madden NFL. A quarterback cannot just be plug and play. Rodgers knows this too well, and is ready.
“The mental part of it is the most important part,” Rodgers said Thursday ahead of the Jets’ season-opener against the San Francisco 49ers. “You’ve got to get your mind right. It’s a grind. It’s a long season, with a lot of ups and downs. You’ve got to prepare yourself to really get off the wave.
“You’ve got to find a way to be a stability point for the team so we’re not riding the highs too much or riding the lows because adversity’s gonna come at some point of the season. We’ve got to make sure we’re handling it the right way.”
