The 2023 NFL preseason kicks off with a bang! The New York Jets are in for a showdown against the Cleveland Brown, which is being held at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. However, to everyone’s surprise, most of the starters from the Jets’ side, including their new QB, Aaron Rodgers, didn’t play. Zach Wilson took the 4x MVP’s place in the away game, getting everyone in the spirit of the season.

Aaron Rodgers has his eyes set on the big one

A-Rod’s athletic greatness is well-known, having dominated the league with the Packers for almost two decades. He holds the record for the most league MVP titles among active players and even has a Super Bowl ring. His $35 million pay cut has made him one of the most generous quarterbacks, akin to Tom Brady, which has fans eager to see him secure a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Even though Rodgers didn’t play in the preseason game, he was present at the event. Cheerfully taking on a commentator role and casually strolling through the Hall of Fame museum, his actions have sparked discussions. A clip of this was posted on the NFL’s X page, showing the 4x MVP smiling as he looks at the HoFamers’ busts. Interestingly, one of the commentators can be heard mentioning how Rodgers could take a place there in the future.
