Aaron Rodgers is a popular guy. Not just with fans, but with fellow members of the Green Bay Packers.
It is why it doesn't come as a complete shock that members of the Packers are getting giddy when seeing Aaron Rodgers back at practice.
“That boy, he came back, and he just flicked it,” running back Jamaal Williams said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press Gazette. “I was like, ‘Dang!’ I was like, ‘Wow! Are you sure that man is injured?’ I was like, ‘That is far! I couldn’t even do that on my good day.’ I mean, he flicked it. I feel like he didn’t even throw it. He just flicked it.”
Williams wasn't the only guy excited about Rodgers returning.
“It’s big,” left tackle David Bakhtiari said. “But at the end of the day, we’ve got to take care of what we can take care of. If we don’t give him an opportunity, there’s no point. So we know he’s going to do what he can. Just like when anyone’s hurt, you know they’re going to come back. You’re going to fight as much as you can.
“On our side, we’ve just got to make sure we take care of business for him, so when he comes back he can really give us that jolt on the field with his presence, and that will be big.”
We don't yet know when — or if, for that matter — Rodgers is returning this season. He's eligible to return from IR in less than two weeks. Either way, at least his teammates are excited.
