As someone well-versed with second acts in New York, Brett Favre believes Aaron Rodgers will thrive with the Jets.
from the Packers on Monday in a blockbuster move, Favre — who followed that same path years prior — proclaimed the four-time league MVP “will do great” on Broadway.
“He will handle the transition as well as anyone. [He’s a] very smart and instinctive person, on and off the field. In other words, you’re not going to catch him by surprise very often,” the 53-year-old Favre told the Worldwide Leader. “And I think [he’s] the best at making everyone around him better. I would rather not bet at all than bet against him.”
Rodgers spent the first 18 years of his career in Green Bay, where he served as Favre’s backup for three seasons. Although Favre announced his retirement in early 2008, paving the way for Rodgers to become the Packers’ starter, he back-tracked on that decision and was traded to the Jets later that year.Diamond Images/Getty ImagesCorey Sipkin for the NY POSTFavre spent the final two seasons of his career in Minnesota."It is very ironic that our paths have taken another step in the same direction"
