WATCH: Aaron Rodgers consoles weeping Jets fan over teary-eyed earning for Super Bowl glory

Aaron Rodgers was brought to New Jersey for one job: to win the elusive Lombardi Trophy. On Wednesday, A-Rod came face-to-face with the weight of the exceptions he has on his shoulders. The quarterback showed immense class in handling this emotional fan.

The hopes of the Jets fans are reignited once again, despite Rodgers skipping the mandatory minicamp and facing heat for it. Rodgers was playing golf in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada, when a fan approached him. The weeping fan said to Aaron Rodgers:

​

“I just want a Super Bowl, Aaron. Please!”

The 2011 Super Bowl winner hugged the fan and consoled him. The bystanders were impressed by this gesture of the superstar QB as he followed on with the course of the tournament.

Aaron Rodgers, who was drafted in 2005, spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers before joining the New York Jets in a blockbuster deal last summer. The Jets gave up three future first-round draft selections. However, four snaps into his Jets debut, A-Rod damaged his Achilles tendon, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.

Jets' Super Bowl record before the arrival of Aaron Rodgers

The New York Jets became the first American Football League team to defeat an NFL team in Super Bowl III. However, that was the first and only time the Jets got their hands on the Lombardi Trophy. Since then, the franchise has failed to even reach the Super Bowl.

The team led now by Aaron Rodgers has been defeated in the AFC Championship game on four occasions. Since then, the Jets have failed even to reach the playoff stage for 13 consecutive seasons.

The Jets begin their 2024 campaign on the road against the San Francisco 49ers on September 9. After gaining a ton of media attention for missing the minicamp earlier this month, A-Rod is set to take command of the squad. The franchise starts its mandatory full training camp on July 25.
