When Aaron Rodgers announced his intentions to play for the New York Jets earlier this NFL offseason, he set the sports world on fire. However, Rodgers could not have known what exactly it was going to be like to leave the Green Bay Packers after so long, although he is saying it has really been a dream come true so far, per Audacy's WFAN Sports Radio 101.9 FM/66AM New York.

“It's really been better that I could have expected. It feels like sometimes that I woke up inside of a dream and that this is my life playing out. I pinch myself at various times throughout the week every single week that I've been here.”

Jets fans will love the thoughts from Aaron Rodgers, as he is the first true franchise quarterback that they have had in quite some time. Although Rodgers won't be suiting up for many years in New York given his age, Jets fans will certainly be able to count on strong play from him while he is at the helm.
