Aaron Rodgers appears to be enjoying his new life as a member of the New York Jets.
He has been seen attending a Taylor Swift concert, as well as a Broadway performance, and he threw a brilliant touchdown pass to wide receiver Garrett Wilson during a team scrimmage.
On Monday, he was generous enough to gift Mike Greenberg with a Jets “legacy” jersey that he wore while on the set of ESPN’s “Get Up.”

Rodgers is single-handedly the reason why New York, in the minds of many, has at least a puncher’s chance of reaching the Super Bowl this season.
He is joining a team with Garrett, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, cornerback Sauce Gardner, who won last season’s Defensive Rookie of the Year award, and star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
In addition, he will get to throw the football to two old friends — wide receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, both of whom he played with while a member of the Green Bay Packers.
The Jets have been mired in a cesspool of ineptitude ever since reaching the AFC Championship Game in 2009 and 2010, and therefore the feeling of optimism among their fans is an odd but welcome one.
They will have to overcome a gauntlet in the AFC, especially in the AFC East, in order to get to the big game, and Rodgers will have to rebound after his numbers experienced a drop in 2022.
But perhaps a change in scenery will help him perform in a more spry manner this season.
