Aaron Rodgers ‘proud’ of Zach Wilson, says rehab ahead of schedule
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers praised the growth of teammate Zach Wilson after his confident performance in Sunday night's game, while saying he is already"ahead of my normal protocols" in his injury rehab process.
"We're very close, and I love him. I care about him. I'm always checking in on him, seeing how he's doing," Rodgers said."I think you've seen a lot of great leadership growth from him. I think our society at times wants to cancel people, or label people and keep that label on him, regardless of any self-growth, or experience that changes your perspective on life.
"You know, I don't need to pull him aside and tell him anything special," Rodgers said."There wasn't some kind of pep talk that I gave him that made him play better. I felt like the plan was a good plan. He got into a rhythm there in the second quarter. Made a bunch of really great throws. I thought the drive coming out of halftime was really fantastic. Started off the second half with a back-shoulder seam route to and then hit a lot of other good throws on the drive.
