Aaron Rodgers certainly agrees.
A year after the Jets quarterback’s season was derailed by a torn Achilles tendon before he could complete a pass, general manager Joe Douglas drafted someone who could help keep Rodgers healthy.
After the trade with the Vikings, the Jets moved down one pick from No. 10 to No. 11 and selected offensive tackle Olu Fashanu from Penn State.
Speaking on “The Pat McAfee Show”“Rogers highly valued this appointment.”
“We’ve already made three moves during the offseason. [to address the offensive line] take john [Simpson] I’ll guard you, Morgan. [Moses] play tackle and tyron [Smith] He can also tackle, so he wasn’t necessarily at the top of our list of needs,” Rodgers said. “But I know they really loved Orr.
“I love that Joe took a step back and got a couple more picks.”
The Jets acquired the Vikings’ 11th pick, a 4th round pick (No. 129), a 5th round pick (No. 157), and sent them a 10th pick and a 6th round pick (No. 203). . Return to Minnesota.
The Vikings then selected Michigan’s JJ McCarthy with the 10th pick.
“I don’t think he’s allowed a sack his entire college career,” Rodgers said. “This means a lot because we’re going to play some of the big Ten schools like Wisconsin and sometimes Iowa. … I love our skill group. We have three receivers. I knew everyone really liked it. [Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze]So I was watching their movie, I was watching the Lineman movie.
“Olu is a bad guy. He had a great career at Penn State. Certainly, you don’t have to jump right in at tackle. We’ll see if we can get him to work at guard. He’s had a long career in the league. I think it will pile up.”
Mr. Rogers also endorsed X to show his support for Mr. Fashanu.
“Great moment” Rodgers Postedwith a heart emoji.
Mr. Rogers also touched on rehabilitation.
“I feel good,” Rodgers said. “I went back to New Jersey last week and did a lot of training.[カリフォルニアに]i’m back. The running has been really good, the straight line speed has improved, and the speed per hour has also increased. The strength is good. You can crawl under the squat rack and do everything you need to do.[toCalifornia[toCalifornia[tokindoftakecareofacoupleofthingsTherunning’sbeenreallygoodfeelinggoodwithmylinearspeedandincreasingthemilesperhourStrengthisgoodCangetunderasquatrackanddoallthethingsIneedtodo
“It’s just confidence. I think the last part is just having enough confidence to do all these things. It’s from the reps. There’s no pain or problems with the Achilles at all.”
