After 18 seasons and 252 total games with the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers is mere days from starting for the New York Jets for the first time. It'll be a new experience for Jets fans, for Packers fans (who will be watching Jordan Love at QB), but most of all for Rodgers.
Not a lot of players know what Rodgers is going through right now, jumping to a new team after nearly two decades with your old one. But there is someone out there who does know what he's going through: Tom Brady.
Brady is retired now, but he jumped to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 after 20 years with the New England Patriots. On"Let's Go," the podcast Brady does with Jim Gray, he discussed what Rodgers may have been experiencing,"Well, it's just, there's a different energy about it. It's a newness.
"Now you go to a new place and you have none of that. So now you can just hopefully bring your best knowing that you probably didn't do everything right where you were, but you tried your best. And now you get to go to a new place with a different type of emotional energy. And I'm excited for him. He'll be invigorated. Looks like he's having a good time up to this year.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears and being out there in a hundred degree heat in Miami, and it's hard in Tampa when you got helmets and shoulder pads on. And I am very excited to never put on a helmet again. I did enough years of that and putting that six-pound helmet on your head in 102 degree heat, believe me, I'm not ever gonna miss that."
