Rodgers complimented the fan, saying, “Nice jersey, man.” The fan, with his back to Rodgers, simply responded with a spirited “Go Jets!”
It wasn’t until someone else inquired if the fan recognized who had spoken to him that Stelio realized it was Rodgers. Without hesitation, the fan returned to Rodgers and asked for a photo, which has now gained viral attention.
Rodgers and the Jets were in Las Vegas for a Sunday Night Football game against the Raiders. While there were likely numerous Jets fans in the city, encountering Rodgers among them was an unexpected delight for his supporters.
Rodgers appears to embrace his role as a man of the people, connecting with fans even in casual encounters.
