In Photos: Aaron Rodgers checks in at Kentucky Derby alongside Jets teammates Allen Lazard and Co.

Aaron Rodgers has been making the rounds since being officially traded to the New York Jets last month. He went to Madison Square Garden to watch a playoff game and then headed to horse racing's biggest event. The 39-year-old quarterback was spotted at the Kentucky Derby with some teammates, including Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb.

Both Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard played with the 10-time Pro Bowler in Green Bay. Cobb spent a decade with Rodgers while Lazard spent five seasons. The pair of wideouts was signed by the Jets this offseason to give Rodgers familiar faces on the offense.


Aaron Rodgers' stats versus the Jets in his career

The sample size is small as Rodgers has played in the NFC his entire career with the Packers. He's faced his new team on four different occasions.

He's thrown for 1,204 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions with a 92.8 quarterback rating versus the Jets in his career.

Now, Aaron Rodgers will be lining up under center for the Jets as he looks to guide the franchise back to the playoffs. New York last made the playoffs in the 2010 season, which was the last time Rodgers made it to the Super Bowl.
