Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill prays for Aaron Rodgers‘ speedy recovery. Hill was at the peak of his fighting career when an injury changed his life. ‘Sweet Dreams’ won the light heavyweight belt after defeating the highly experienced Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 via unanimous decision. After the victory, Hill had been looking forward to defending his title against other powerful fighters of his division, but his plans were shattered when he suffered an Achilles tear. Now he doubts that Aaron Rodgers faced a similar injury.

A-Rod’s first match with the New York Jets was cut short by a suspected Achilles tear. The four-time NFL MVP exited early from the match as he was unable to continue because of the injury. Despite this unfortunate incident, Rodgers’ team achieved a remarkable victory against the Buffalo Bills on Monday evening. The Jets went on to win the game in overtime, 22-16. After learning about Rodgers’ injury, famous athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Kevin Durant, and Charles Woodson joined Hill and prayed for his fast recovery. Let’s delve further into their reactions.

Jamahal Hill prays for Aaron Rodgers

 Jamahal Hill was deeply saddened when he learned about A-Rod’s injury, as he knew the pain one has to endure during an Achilles tear. While reigning as the light heavyweight kingpin, Hill tore his Achilles when he played basketball with other UFC fighters ahead of UFC 290. Due to the injury, ‘Sweet Dreams’ was forced to relinquish his title so that the division could move on.

Presently, he believes that Rodgers faced a similar injury, and he prayed for his fast recovery. The former UFC light heavyweight champion took to X and wrote, “Man praying for Rodgers man that definitely looked like an Achilles tear hope I’m wrong but his reaction was very similar to mine!!!” If Rodgers tore his Achilles like Hill, the injury would compel him to stay away from the sport as it requires prolonged rest and rehabilitation. Similar to Hill, Mahomes, Durant, and Woodson reacted to the unfortunate incident faced by A-Rod.

He took to X and wrote, “Hate that, man… Praying for the best.” It’s already clear that Rodgers would have to stay away from the game for months, and he has already been replaced by Zach Wilson. Similar to Mahomes, the Phoenix Suns player, Kevin Durant, was feeling terrible about the news.
