With the arrival of Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, much is said about the 2023 season. His teammates, who’s coming up in the Draft, what they can still get in free agency and more.
Peeeeeeeeeeeero, some of the hardcore Jets fans are wondering what number the QB will wearonce it is officially presented.
Why, throughout his entire NFL playing careerthat is, at the moment in the Packers, He has always worn the number 12 on his bibbut in Jets, you won’t be able to use it.
It’s 18 years for Aaron Rodgers wearing the 12 And you’re probably wondering: Why can’t the quarterback wear that number with his new team?
simple, because the number 12 in the Jets belonged to a legend, Joe Namath (the man who gave them the only title), and that number is retired in the new york franchise.
What number would Aaron Rodgers wear on the Jets?
And yes, someone as legendary as Joe Namath, plus he is the only QB who has given the Jets a championshiphe would have to have his number removed yes or yes.
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeero, luckily for Aaron Rodgers, Joe Namath himself would have no problem with the new Jets quarterback wearing the numberhas the divine permission of the legend.
“I’m a big Rodgers fan and I noticed that he wears the number 12, of course. I’m thinking, well man, if we get him on our side, will he still wear the number 12? Because the number was retired years agosaid Joe Namath on January 19. on the TikiAndTierney show.
The thing is, it seems Aaron Rodgers wants to say goodbye to that 12 and close the cycle with the Packersdespite having the nod from Namath and is thinking of another significant number for him.
Well according to Adam Schefter, the new Jets quarterback would be thinking about wearing number 8that number he used at the University of California.
So, the Jets QB will apply the “back to basics”although the number will be the least important thing for fans of the New York franchise, because they are thirsty for triumphs for the 2023 season.
