What to Expect at 40? NFL Vet Shares Thoughts on Aaron Rodgers’ Comeback

It’s been exactly 217 days since the fateful night when Aaron Rodgers took the fall on the gridiron against the Bills. What was termed as a season-ending injury has now got the fans speculating whether he will be back for this season. And according to NFL analysts, he will be the Jets’ most valuable player for their dream of a Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, has had an unfortunate time since the 2023 season. He debuted against the Buffalo Bills in a much-anticipated match in September but fate turned its head against him and Rodgers suffered a left Achilles injury on just his fourth play. Now that the talks about his return ensue, will he still be able to bring the same A-Rod magic we all know and love? Here’s the former WR for the Packers, James Jones weighing in with his opinion.

Aaron Rodgers is key to the Jets’ Super Bowl victory

On the latest episode of the ‘Speak’ show, the hosts took to the mic to discuss Aaron Rodgers’ return and how it will increase the Jets’ dreams of a Super Bowl. James Jones, Rodgers’ ex-teammate and Super Bowl winner, has a seemingly biased view of the 40-year-old NFL veteran.

He said, “You have a chance to win a Super Bowl and I know shady ain’t here but it’s time dog. It’s time to get to a Super Bowl. I don’t care if you win it, lose it but you got to get to a Super Bowl. This team is way better than the team you came into last year and some people have Super Bowl hopes for y’all last year and you got hurt four plays in. This team is even better now if Aaron Rogers stays healthy. ” Thus, even though Rodgers’ return has had a lot of fans speculating whether he’ll be able to play the same way as before, it is evident that Jones’ words might just prove to be true, given his experience as an NFL player. With all that said, here’s Rodgers speaking up on his future in the sport as he desperately tries to get back to his old form.

“Need to have some good fortune” A-Rod talks about getting back to practice

The New York Jets haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1969. As such, a 50-plus-year trophy continues to haunt the men in green. When Rodgers was announced to be joining the team after his transfer from the Green Bay Packers, the fans had a dream once again but unfortunately, it had to die out.

And now that Rodgers is back on his feet, he can maybe revive the dreams and hopefully take them all the way. In a recent statement, Rodgers talked about getting back to training and said, “I got back on the practice field late in the season and couldn’t get to a top speed sprinting, but really been in a good place rehab-wise, from the start, and feeling really good. I’m hopeful I can play two or three or four more years, but you need to have some good fortune in there too.” So, what are your thoughts on his return? Share with us in the comments!
