Jets QB Aaron Rodgers finds ‘fountain of youth’ in new cayenne pepper, water drink
October 30, 2024After Gang Green’s 25-22 loss in New England on Sunday, Patriots 330-pound defensive tackle Davon Godchaux said he saw an aging Rodgers.
“Yeah, I think he’s struggling right now,” Godchaux said. “Just a Hall of Fame quarterback like that, hate to see him go out that way, but always gonna take a win against him, look good on your resume. But, yeah, he definitely don’t look the same. You just don’t know if he could move back there. I can run him down and catch him. He don’t look mobile at all.”
Rodgers didn’t dispute Godchaux’s comments.
“He’s probably right,” the quarterback said. “Yeah, I was hurtin’. But feel better today.”
Rodgers feels better thanks to his continued routine rehab — and a little cayenne pepper water.
“I’m kind of taking care of myself nonstop,” he said. “And if you look at the game, you know, I only got hit a couple of times. I got sacked once. I didn’t really move a whole lot. That was probably part of it. But I expect to be able to do a lot, a lot more this week.
“I’ll be under center and hopefully be back to my faster-than-Godchaux speed.”
With the Jets’ season floundering after a fifth consecutive loss put them at 2-6, Gang Green desperately needs the QB to play like an MVP on Thursday night to keep hope alive.
