New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was throwing again on the first day of the team’s Organized Team Activities (OTAs).
Jets social media captured a moment during practice when Rodgers delivered a perfect pass to Garrett Wilson, who sprinted his way in for a touchdown.
It was just the first day of these OTAs – which can only take place over a ten-day period during the off-season.
But the signs are already positive for Rodgers, who missed all but four games of the previous season due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Just four moments into his career as a Jet, the quarterback went down and didn’t return to the field last season despite his best efforts.
