Aaron Rodgers will be preparing to potentially play his first season with the Jets after last year's horror of a campaign.
The four-time MVP tore his Achilles tendon just four snaps into his Jets debut and had to miss the rest of the season.
Rodgers rehabbed and was able to practice just 11 weeks after the surgery.
The 40-year-old looks to play in his 20th season in the NFL and he revealed his plan to win two Super Bowls with New York and retire on Barstool Sports hit podcast Pardon My Take.
