The four-time NFL MVP was 5-of-8 for 47 yards on his two series and appeared to be more than ready to get the season started.

The Jets acquired Rodgers in the offseason from Green Bay, where he spent 18 years. Rodgers and the Packers had a falling out that led to a trade.

He has 59,055 passing yards and 475 touchdown passes in his career. Not only that, he helped the Jets sign a couple of former Packers players in the offseason as well.

New York signed wide receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb to contracts in the offseason. Head coach Robert Saleh also brought Nathaniel Hackett over to be the offensive coordinator.
