After a season marred by injury, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to make his long-awaited return to the field. With the start of his second season in green and white a day away, Rodgers reminisced about the tragic day when he felt hopeless.

The day remains etched in the minds of every Jets fan, eager to see a 4-time Super Bowl champion gearing up. The joy lasted for just a game before Rodgers went down by Leonard Floyd’s sack, limping off the field in pain. Although he tried to return, the injury was too severe and the Jets eventually didn’t qualify for the postseason without Rodgers.
