Aaron Rodgers’s Twitter Activity Suggests He’s Aware of Zach Wilson’s Infamous January Quote

Rodgers seems to have caught wind of the Jets QB’s eye-opening comments.

An old Zach Wilson quote made the rounds on social media in the aftermath of the Jets and Packers agreeing to their blockbuster Aaron Rodgers trade.

Back in January, when it first became clear the Jets could explore veteran options at quarterback, Wilson indicated he’d be keen on a quarterback competition, suggesting he’d make his opponent’s life “hell.”

Rodgers’s recent social media activity suggests he’s well aware of the comments from Wilson. Rodgers’s latest “Like” on Twitter was a graphic of that very quote. 

“I’m going to make that dudes life hell in practice every day,” said Wilson on Jan. 9, via SNY, speaking on the possibility of New York acquiring an experienced signal caller in the offseason. 

This is recent "Like" from Aaron Rodgers is pretty interesting.

Now that Rodgers is officially headed to the Jets, it’s safe to say the comments from Wilson have aged fairly poorly.  

The 39-year-old doesn’t figure to have too much difficulty keeping the Jets’ starting job from Wilson’s clutches, though the organization did express its faith that the former No. 2 pick would benefit from being behind Rodgers on the depth chart.

Wilson endured a tumultuous 2022 season and now the route toward a bounce-back campaign has been blocked by the organization’s acquisition of the four-time MVP from Green Bay.
