Aaron Rodgers is keeping himself occupied during his recovery.
While mending from a torn Achilles, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has found a unique way to contribute to the organization, unrelated to his role with players or coaches. The Jets shared a video on Thursday via their X/Twitter page, featuring Rodgers working as a ticket sales representative. In the video, he engages with a customer, making a pitch for additional ticket purchases and ultimately offering the fan two complimentary tickets.
If Rodgers decides to remain connected to football in his post-playing career, his foray into ticket sales suggests a promising future in that realm.
Unfortunately, the almost 40-year-old Rodgers sustained a torn Achilles early in his Jets debut against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. While such an injury typically ends a season, Rodgers has expressed confidence in surpassing the projected recovery timeline and returning to the field this season.

The Jets initiated Rodgers’ 21-day practice window on Wednesday, with Rodgers, as reported by The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt, perceiving no risk or danger in attempting a comeback this season.
With a 4-7 record and competing in the highly competitive AFC, the Jets face slim chances of reaching the postseason. Winning all remaining games is a prerequisite for even a potential qualification. A loss to the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday would likely extinguish any realistic postseason hopes.
Considering the circumstances, Rodgers might find more success staying on the phone in his ticket sales role than attempting a potential comeback this season.
