New York Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Learns Brutal News Entering The 2024 Season
According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini:
Four MVP awards, one Super Bowl and nearly 60,000 passing yards later, Rodgers is still driving to practice while making his living as a quarterback. The Ford pickup is long gone. These days, he’s leading the New York Jets, trying to take them to a destination they haven’t seen in 55 years — the Super Bowl.
He’s the oldest active player in the NFL — he turns 41 on Dec. 2 — impressing teammates and coaches with his longevity and youthful passion. He’s the OG whose body of work prompts reactions from teammates. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams was incredulous upon learning recently that Rodgers is preparing for his 20th season.
When he starts in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, Rodgers will become the seventh quarterback since 1960 to start at least one game in his 40s. The others are Tom Brady (98 starts), Vinny Testaverde (25), Drew Brees (23), Favre (13), Doug Flutie (six) and Warren Moon (one).
How Long Does Rodgers Have Left In The NFL?
Rodgers wants to finish his career in Brady’s footsteps, but it won’t be easy. Several factors are working against him. His age is a factor. An Achilles tear is a serious injury that has never been rehabilitated by a quarterback over 40.
Rodgers has made it clear he wants to play multiple seasons in New York. It will be interesting to see how long he lasts with the Jets.
