Aaron Rodgers has been recuperating at a quick pace and surprising everyone in the NFL with his improvements. The football star is excited to get out on the field with his team, from passing over the crutches to cheering them on from the sidelines. The quarterback for the Jets was recently seen tossing passes to the ground before the Jets’ last game!

The star QB tore his Achilles tendon in his first game of the season. Since then, QB Zach Wilson has taken the baton from the veteran. Despite mixed performances, he has tried his best to fill A-Rod’s shoes. The Jets lost the game rather embarrassingly against the Chargers 27-6 and could not secure a single TD throughout the play.

The Jets need A-Rod more than ever!

While the world is going crazy over Rodgers’ speedy recovery, the comeback can take slightly longer than anticipated. A-Rod recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and shed some light on the expected date of his return. In the video, McAfee can be seen praising A-Rod’s advancements!

McAfee said, “You do a little three-step drop pivot, you have to turn a lot of force on that front foot, that’s like 58-yard ball, are we back?” Rodgers responded quickly “No we are not back that’s just my stress reliever and that’s just me feeling a little bit normal, feeling like you know I’m back member of team.” Well, that was A-Rod’s way of relieving stress and having some fun.
