Aaron Rodgers is an integral part of the NFL. The 39-year-old is synonymous with longevity and a career that is beyond successful. While the American diaspora is still recovering from the shocking news of the SB champion’s season-ending injury. There are analysts and experts that are vying for the MVP’s comeback.

If one thing is certain, that is A-Rod’s dedication to the game and his record as a QB player. Green Bay Packers was the team that gave A-Rod 10X Pro-Bowls and christened him to a legendary status. Now, as he joined his new home- the New York Jets, fans were expecting that the maverick would build on his legacy. Recently speaking on his show, the host Pat McAfee touched on several of Rodgers’ points and highlighted how the comeback could be possible with some solid signs.

Pat McAfee roots for Aaron Rodgers’s comeback

There’s no one who vocalizes their opinions as passionately as Pat McAfee. He regularly discusses the latest NFL events in his talk show and adds to his own elements. Recently, he broke down the heartening message penned down by the 4X NFL’s Most Valuable Player. He said “…he has the capability to literally go on and do whatever he thinks. Did he think this was maybe a sign from the universe? Like, yep should have just stayed in Green Bay…”

Without sounding negative, McAfee pointed out that maybe it was a sign from above for Rodgers to continue with Green Gang. Since coming on to the NY Jets, the stalwart encountered a season-ending injury in his debut match. He further went on to say how A-Rod said no to his naysayers and let his actions do the talking. “People were talking like that it was going to be tough for a 40-year-old man to come back, that narrative was getting a lot of traction.” McAfee then pointed out that people who know the player closely have seen how hard-working Rodgers is and how much he puts into every game. The QB is also keeping his fans updated about his injury through social media.

NY Jets would be praying that their talisman is present with the squad in some capacity. The senior QB comes with years of experience that he can share with his new side. Moreover, Zach Wilson who’s still in the early phase of his career, would benefit from A-Rod’s sound pieces of advice.
