Bills vs. Jets LOOK: Did Aaron Rodgers Just Get Jacked?

Has the old-timer Aaron Rodgers - soon to be in the middle of Bills vs. Jets - re-devoted himself to his job by putting in serious work in the weight room? So it seems …

In this story:

The cynic - and the Green Bay Packers left-behind fan - is going to wonder why superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, having exited his psychedelic cave, didn’t think of getting in the weight room sometime previous over the course of his 39 years.

But the New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills archrivals who now employ the four-time NFL MVP? They’re surely pleased that following the springtime blockbuster trade that brings the QB to the AFC East, Rodgers opted to at least look ready to go for 2023 training camp and the regular season beyond.

Has the old-timer re-devoted himself to his job by putting in serious work in the weight room? So it seems … 

In a recent photo posted onto his Instagram account that is now going viral, Rodgers is looking fit - some think “jacked” - while showing off his physique during a recent workout.

Rodgers, who is an idol to Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen, looks to be in fine form physically, if the photo is painting an accurate picture. The Jets are of course wishing to be careful here with their valuable new employee and were already dealt an injury scare of sorts during OTAs in May when Rodgers said he “tweaked” his calf.

The leg appears to be fine. Rodgers also seems to have cut his hair, and maybe has even washed it for the photo shoot … and yes, the Jets have a chance to be a contender in the 2023 season.

Lost in all the hullabaloo from the trade: Rodgers last year actually wasn’t very good at quarterback for Green Bay. One way to fix what’s broken? Get in better shape - something Rodgers is apparently doing.
