Amid reports of the New York Jets searching for a backup quarterback and potential successor to their aging signal-caller, Aaron Rodgers showcased his archery skills for the first time, hitting bullseye in an Instagram video shared on Monday.
Joined by archer Cameron Hanes, Rodgers displayed his natural talent with the compound bow, impressing fans with his accuracy. Three of his arrows found their mark in the inner rings of the indoor shooting target, earning him a total of 15 points.
“Aaron Rodgers shooting a compound bow for the first time & he’s a natural,” tweeted Harrison Glaser, highlighting the quarterback’s prowess beyond the football field.

Former Panthers wide receiver Chris Manno echoed the sentiment, noting Rodgers’ ability to excel in various endeavors, from football to golf and now archery.
While some expressed skepticism about it being Rodgers’ inaugural attempt at archery, with one user questioning how someone living in Green Bay, Wisconsin, could have never tried it before, others focused on the Jets’ quarterback situation.
Reports suggest the Jets are exploring various options for their backup QB role, including free agents like Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Jacoby Brissett, and Gardner Minshew. Additionally, there’s speculation about Caleb Williams potentially joining the team after being projected as a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
With Rodgers’ archery skills impressing and the Jets strategizing for the upcoming season, all eyes are on the quarterback’s next move, especially following a challenging 7-10 record last season. As Rodgers gears up for potential challenges ahead, his physical condition, as noted by author Ian O’Connor, seems to indicate he’s ready for whatever comes his way.
