During his regularly scheduled appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that he still roots for the Green Bay Packers to win in the NFC North.
Rodgers had initially rolled his eyes at McAfee starting the Minnesota Vikings ‘SKOL’ chant before going on to see he was ‘not happy’ at the Detroit Lions winning the division for the first time in 30 years.
‘Although I’m in New York, I definitely still want the green and gold to take the North every year,’ Rodgers said on Tuesday.
‘But [the Lions] got a good football team. Jared [Goff’s] had a really nice season, obviously, [Amon-Ra] St. Brown is a fantastic receiver… Jahmyr [Gibb’s] had a really nice year, and always been a fan of Montgomery—the way he runs the ball, his toughness.’
Rodgers spent 18 seasons of his career with the Packers before he was traded to the Jets this offseason.

Green Bay had initially drafted Rodgers with the No. 24 overall pick back in 2005 after he shockingly fell through the first round.
During his time in Green and Yellow, Rodgers through for 59,055 yards, 475 touchdowns, and 105 interceptions.
He also won four MVP awards and the 2010 Super Bowl.
Rodgers first year in New York has been a far different story from the levels of success he saw in Green Bay however, after suffering a torn Achilles only four plays into his Jets debut.
Despite initially showing glimmers of hope early in the season New York has limped to a 6-9 record without Rodgers and statistically been the worst offense in the entire NFL.
