A new era of New York Jets football has officially begun, with the storied NFL franchise finally getting a superstar quarterback under center in the form of four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
With the blockbuster trade between the Jets and Green Bay Packers now official, Rodgers is getting to know his new surroundings with the perennial Pro Bowler doing the rounds at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
On Saturday, Rodgers appeared on the jumbotron at Madison Square Garden during Game 6 of the NHL playoff series matchup between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils.
Rodgers followed that appearance by taking in Game 1 of the second-round playoff series between the New York Knicks and Miami Heat on Sunday.

As a part-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, as a one-percent stakeholder, Rodgers was seen at a lot sitting courtside to watch Giannis Antetokounmpo and company go to work on the hardwood.
It appears Rodgers may be seen at MSG more often moving forward, especially with the Bucks recently falling to the Heat in the first round of the playoffs.
Along with being seen sitting courtside at NBA playoff games, Rodgers may get a lot more exposure during this NFL offseason if the league ultimately chooses to put the Jets on HBO’s Hard Knocks this year.
The Jets are one of four teams eligible to be on the popular show, with the Washington Commanders, New Orleans Saints, and Chicago Beas being the three other teams.
Obviously, with Rodgers in the fold, the Jets become that much more of an attractive option to be on the show.
