“I was happy to beat every person associated with jets,” he said.
Rogers, who have repeatedly talked about being inspired by salt and dobers during their career, moved to large lengths throughout the week of Prep to avoid any negativity in public after their two-year tenure. Even after the game, he said that the victory was special regardless regardless of the opponent.
“I like to beat everyone, so it doesn’t matter who it is,” Roders said. “I really played only 18 games, so I was really talking Brees [Hall] About that. He said, ‘How does it feel?’ I said, ‘Honestly, I was here for two years, but it does not come closer how it is going to feel Green Bay because it was 18 years in my career.’ So it was good to win, especially by listening to some cacolas and boo birds. I am not sensitive about that. I expected that. I liked it. ,
Coach Mike was not surprised by Tomlin Roadors’s apathy.
“He doesn’t care,” said Tomlin. “He has been doing it for a very long time. It was a week 1. It was very excited. We won. It’s on the next one.”
Although the mob gave the Rodgers mostly hostile to the Rodgers, it was not for many members of the Jets organization.
Just before 10 o’clock at the entrance of the visiting team, after getting off the steeler bus at the entrance of the visiting team, the Roders embraced a stadium security worker after going through a metal detector. A few steps later, he adopted another familiar face in Karan Patel. Once a jets equipment employee and now a locker room attendant, Patel, regularly threw him with Rodgers in 2023 during his Acilies Rehab. Once he made his way for Turf, Rhoders passed through a familiar routine, as he had thrown with Patel for several minutes before stopping to catch his life.
“I love KP,” said Rodgers. “I wish the organization would appoint him back. He is a person with a character, culture man, a great young boy. He was fun to see him. He said,” I am working towards the visitor today. ” I said, ‘Well let’s play a little catch. ,
Reunion did not stop there. A stable section of jets staff and players crossed the 50-yard line to congratulate the roders during the warmup period, including quarterbacks Tireode taylorDefensive lineman Quinen Williams And the hall is running behind. And the choice of cornerback Sauce gardner And Quincy Williams After the game, she stopped to wish her well.
“I still have many people for whom I am hobby, and so pregem I saw some people,” Roders said. “There are many people who really enjoy there. … So it was nice to see those people.”

By any remedy, Rogers did not succeed with jets, and their success with steelers is still to be determined during the season. But with a season-opening win, he once called home, the roaders finally appeared to be closed to that chapter of his career.
“I gave as much as possible [Jets]And it did not work, “Rogers said.” I had no difficult feeling about it. Now, I probably did not appreciate the way that finally went down, but it is in the past, and we are 1-0.
“I wanted to have fun today. I was dreaming about the opportunity to step back on the field in Offsen and wondering how it would feel and the juice would flow and would it hit my competitive spirit. There were many moments that I was on the sideline, just to encourage me to thank myself that he was right.”
