Aaron Rodgers continues his training for his Big Apple debut. After attending various events in New York, A-Rod returned to work mode after the conclusion of OTAs and mandatory mini-camp. Despite initially missing out on OTAs because of a strained calf, the New York Jets 4X MVP QB took part in all 10 OTAs this time, despite being known for missing out on off-season activities with the Green Bay Packers

And now, Aaron Rodgers recently made his way to the Golden State to participate and carry on his usual off-season training cycle. And amidst his extensive training plans, he tried hilariously mocking his ex-favorite teammate from the Packers, who is also his good friend, for not being a part of the training plan.

For years now, Rodgers has been making his way to California to take part in his usual training regimen with Proactive Sports Performance, a physical fitness program situated in Westlake Village Program in California. The program includes fieldwork, a weight room, yoga, and sand dunes work.

The regiment lasts around six to seven weeks. And Aaron Rodgers was a part of it even this year. He took to his Instagram story to share a post by the Proactive Sports Performance Center, where various athletes were posing for a photo together. Rodgers decided to engage in a playful banter with his ex-teammate, Packers OT David Bakhtiari. He tagged the OT in his story, asking about his whereabouts. Bakhtiari hilariously replied to the banter using his story, stating, “Too busy training and not posing for a photo…” The duo go way back and have developed a strong friendship with each other over the years. Maybe this is why Rodgers decided to clap back at Bakhtiari’s response with another hilarious story, which said, “Probably lying around getting fat.”

While his good friend may not have been a part of the program, Rodgers surprisingly bumped into another superstar from the NBA at the facility.

A-Rod meets up with NBA legend

While it may have been the usual regiment for Aaron Rodgers at the Proactive Sports Performance Center, he had quite an unusual encounter with an NBA star over in California. The official IG page of the Center caused a stir amongst fans when they shared a photo of Kevin Durant and Aaron Rodgers together. Both the NBA and NFL are two different sports, so it was definitely a shock for fans to see the stars in training together. Durant provided more context on the photo on his Instagram story, where he stated that he was a Jets fan, which may be why he decided to opt for a picture with their newly acquired QB. While there is no more information available on the same, the encounter certainly managed to leave fans of both sports in awe.
