Aaron Rodgers' time with the Green Bay Packers came to an end when he was traded to the New York Jets after months of speculation. 

Shortly before Rodgers officially became a member of Gang Green, Allen Lazard signed with the Jets in March. Lazard spent five years with Rodgers in Green Bay. On Thursday, Lazard and Rodgers were back working together on a football practice football field at the Jets training facility.

This week marked the next step in a new chapter of Rodgers' storied football career, and Rodgers was well aware of how "different" this year's training camp is for him.

"Everything is different," Rodgers said. "Nineteen years in, there’s been a lot of training camps — all of them at 1265 Lombardi. Showing up at 1 Jets Drive was a little different."

Now, he is playing for a franchise that has made it to the NFL’s biggest game just once, and that was back when Joe Namath led the Jets to a stunning win over the Baltimore Colts in 1969.

Rodgers recognizes the extra attention now placed on a team that has not qualified for the postseason in 12 years. After his first training camp practice with the Jets, he is pacing himself amid all the hype.
