New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has responded to a claim from teammate Allen Lazard that the team would use ‘the Aaron Rodgers offence’ for the 2023 NFL regular season
Aaron Rodgers has dismissed suggestions the New York Jets will use âhis’ offence this forthcoming season.
The new Jets quarterback is preparing for his first season with the franchise after being traded from the Green Bay Packers. The 39-year-old had spent the last 18 years of his career in Wisconsin, but made the switch to New York just days before the 2023 NFL Draft.
Rodgers has won four NFL MVP awards in his career, including two in back-to-back years in 2020 and 2021. During that time he worked with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who now has the same role with the Jets. Rodgers has been joined by several other players, including Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard and Adrian Amos, while new recruits Billy Turner and Tim Boyle also spent time alongside him at Lambeau Field.
And Lazard claimed recently that the new season will see the team use the “Aaron Rodgers offence” when speaking about the quarterback. However, Rodgers himself has dismissed the suggestion, and instead heaped praise on Hackett. The veteran quarterback believes that credit must be given to Hackett and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, as well as himself, for the offence tactics that the Jets plan to use this season.
