WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair gives Aaron Rodgers his seal of approval - “He’s a BAD MAN”
Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the first game of last season, but he will be ready to start in Week 1 of the upcoming season. The New York Jets quarterback is present at the team's training camp and is actively involved in practices after missing the mandatory minicamp last month.
Rodgers recently made an appearance on the Up & Adams Show, where he talked about the incident with Garrett Wilson, which got quite overblown. Kay Adams also asked the four-time NFL MVP about the Ric Flair walk that he was doing, and Rodgers was happy that someone noticed it.
Adams was not the only one who noticed Rodgers' walk, as Ric Flair himself sent a message to the quarterback. The WWE legend said:
"Aaron Rodgers Gets It & He’s A BAD MAN! Go New York Jets, WOOOOO!"
Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL, and with Tom Brady's retirement, he is currently one of the most popular NFL players alongside Patrick Mahomes. He will be happy to see that Flair praised him, and the veteran quarterback will be ready to lead his team to a successful season this year.

Robert Saleh confirmed Aaron Rodgers will not play in preseason
Despite only playing four snaps last season, Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to play in any of the Jets' preseason games this year. Robert Saleh confirmed the decision recently, as the franchise doesn't want to jeopardize the health of their superstar quarterback.
As per reports, Rodgers has recently struggled in team practices. But that is not a big concern, as a player of Rodgers' caliber knows how to get back on track after facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The Jets start their season with a trip to San Francisco in Week 1. Although that game will be hard to win, the AFC East team will face Tennessee and New England in Weeks 2 and 3 respectively, which could help in building the confidence for the rest of the season.
Hopefully, Rodgers will stay healthy as this Jets team has a lot of talent, and with a good quarterback, they can make a deep run in the playoffs.
