History Repeats With Aaron Rodgers’ Injury, as Keyshawn Johnson Reveals a Past Where the Jets’ “Dreams Went Out the Window”

Keyshawn Johnson, former WR for the Carolina Panthers, shares a sentimental story of the past. The 50-year-old former Jets player’s story comes to light with respect to the tragic injury of Aaron Rodgers. A-Rod was all set to debut with the Jets at the MetLife Stadium, but unfortunately, it wasn’t going to be Rodgers’ night. Within the initial 5-minutes into the game, Rodgers suffered a terrible injury. Thus, Johnson talks about the state of the Jets and how the injury will impact the overall team.

Johnson has been a Super Bowl winner with the Bucs and has been a legendary WR in the sport of the NFL. He’s an active part of the ‘Undisputed’ show and shares excellent analysis of the NFL matches as a broadcaster. Yet, he seems extremely emotional with the words he has to say about the dreams that got washed away.

Keyshawn Johnson sympathizes with Rodgers

During the latest episode of the ‘Undisputed’ show with Michael Irving and Skip Bayless, Keyshawn Johnson voiced his opinion on Rodgers’ injury situation. He retrospects on his time with the Jets in 1999 when they were the favorites to win the championship. Johnson gives an example of an almost similar situation he was in when the Jets faced off against the New England Patriots in the season opener. During this match, his teammate Vinny Testaverde suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and had to be taken off the field.

He said, “My dreams just went out the window as a Super Bowl winner because now we’re looking at our backup quarterbacks.” Johnson displays his deep sympathies for Rodgers as well as the players who would also be severely affected by the loss of their greatest chance at the Super Bowl championship. Though the Jets will be playing the season without A-Rod, they still can’t be ruled out of the competition as they have been known to bounce back out of the toughest situations.

Jets’ future in the league

The Jets were looking forward to the season with Rodgers, but unfortunately, he won’t be returning this season. But there’s a lot more to the Jets than meets the eye. The fans are counting on Zach Wilson, QB for the Jets, to save their contender run and help them go all the way. While rumors of Brady coming to replace A-Rod have been surfacing, nothing is confirmed except the fatality of Rodgers’ Achilles ankle injury.

History hasn’t been really kind to the Jets. In the entire span of their career, they’ve only ever won one Super Bowl, and that occurred way back in 1969. They’ve also ever had the one and only Super Bowl appearance and they’re one of the very few teams with the longest drought in terms of championship wins. With Rodgers on the team, the Jets could’ve at least hoped for a Super Bowl win after an astonishing span of 54 years, but alas!

Will the Jets be able to go all the way this season? Or will they have to add one more year to the 54-year tally?
