It was the video that nearly broke the NFL internet on Wednesday.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and emerging star wide receiver Garrett Wilson appeared to get into a heated discussion during practice after it appeared Wilson ran the wrong route during a drill.
“He’s got to get on my page,” Rodgers told reporters after practice. “But I have to get on his page, too, because he’s got a whole book that I need to understand fully — skill set and ability and feel and rhythm and all the different things that he does out there.
“So those are good conversations. They might appear to be much more heated than they are, but there’s usually a smile on our face afterwards — at least one of us.”
It shouldn’t be too surprising that it is taking some time for Rodgers and Wilson to get on the same page, after all, the four-time MVP missed all but four snaps last season after rupturing his Achilles tendon in the Jets’ season opener and was absent from New York’s mandatory minicamp.
Aaron Rodgers “You zigged when you were supposed to zag again. ”
Garret Wilson “And again, you were supposed to show up at mini camp so we could practice this, but you chose Egypt.”

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson Fires Back at 49ers Criticism
The reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers offered Wilson some added motivation for the upcoming season.
During a May appearance on Up and Adams with Kay Adams, 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward suggested he had never heard of Wilson, whom he’ll potentially line up opposite when the teams meet in the regular season opener next month.

Wilson didn’t mince words when asked about Ward’s comments.
“I saw it. That’s cool,” Wilson told reporters. “They’re right, frankly. It’s all good. I ain’t done nothing yet. I’m excited to have the opportunity to do it on them, get it rolling, right? That’s just how it is. Any opponent we play, that’s the mindset.”
Ward is one of the premier cornerbacks in the league, while Wilson is an ascending receiver talent looking to build on two consecutive 1,000-plus yard seasons to open his career, which will make the Week 1 matchup all the more compelling thanks to the backdrop of this offseason’s back-and-forth.
