John Simpson hasn’t been with Aaron Rodgers long, but the left guard already knows the responsibility that comes with guarding Rodgers, the man the Jets are building their hopes and dreams on. “He’s the GOAT,” Simpson said after the Jets practiced Monday. “You just have to do your job, give him a little extra, and […]
