Throughout a latest look on the “Up & Adams Present with Kay Adams,” “Enigma” director Gotham Chopra touched upon what some outsiders get improper concerning certain takes about Rodgers’ persona.
“That he would not care,” Chopra stated, as shared by Eva Geitheim of Sports activities Illustrated. “That he is so aloof that it would not hassle him, that he isn’t paying consideration, that he would not have good relationships along with his teammates. I used to be round him…he has nice relationships. All of the folks we talked to, particularly going again to [his days with the Green Bay Packers from 2005-22], there was deep affection for him.”
Whereas Rodgers’ relationship with former Jets backup signal-caller Zach Wilson allegedly “soured” because the 41-year-old spent the majority of the 2023 season recovering from a torn Achilles, multiple Jets teammates sang the veteran’s praises and defended Rodgers throughout his two-year stint with the group.

Final season, he had ambitions and goals. He labored actually arduous bodily, mentally, emotionally to come back again from a reasonably darkish damage. Whenever you get harm at 39 years previous, that kind of damage and also you decide to coming again and it would not go effectively…I believe it was actually troublesome. Individuals assumed sure issues and do not understand how a lot it pained him to undergo that have.”
