Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings warns the NFL that Aaron Rodgers' determined mindset could lead to the Jets' resurgence.
**Paragraph 1:** Greg Jennings, a former Pro Bowl wide receiver who won a Super Bowl alongside Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers nearly a decade ago, has often criticized his former quarterback since retiring. However, Jennings recently expressed optimism about Rodgers' prospects with the New York Jets.
**Paragraph 2:** Rodgers enters the 2024 season with the Jets at the age of 40, following a season in which he led the Packers to the playoffs but suffered a torn Achilles. Despite the injury, Jennings believes Rodgers' determination and mental edge will make the Jets a formidable opponent.
**Paragraph 3:** "Listening to Aaron Rodgers say what he said, the league is in trouble," Jennings said on "The Carton Show." "When he has this mentality, there's no one better."
**Paragraph 4:** Jennings acknowledged Rodgers' age and recent injury but emphasized that his exceptional decision-making and intelligence make him a threat to opposing defenses.
**Paragraph 5:** So far, reports from the Jets' organized team activities (OTAs) suggest that Rodgers still possesses the physical abilities that made him one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation and a four-time NFL MVP with the Packers.
**Paragraph 6:** Rodgers' mindset is particularly crucial for the Jets, as the team's roster is largely built around him. Young stars like running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson are complemented by veterans such as wide receiver Mike Williams, offensive linemen John Simpson and Tyron Smith, and Rodgers' former Packers teammates Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb.
**Paragraph 7:** Saleh's defense, led by defensive lineman Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner, remains one of the league's best units.
**Paragraph 8:** Despite the Jets' strong roster, the team has not made the postseason since 2010, which is also the last time Rodgers led a team to the Super Bowl. The pressure is on both the team and the quarterback to break those droughts.
**Paragraph 9:** Jennings believes Rodgers' determination and belief in his abilities will be instrumental in the Jets' success, stating, "If he's taking this posture, watch out."
**Paragraph 10:** Jennings' insights provide a unique perspective on Rodgers and the Jets' potential. The former quarterback's mental edge and the team's talented roster could be a formidable combination that could challenge the NFL's best.
