Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers clearly has some pretty high standards for himself and his teammates, and he clearly was not happy about a few things during practice for the New York Jets on Monday afternoon.
According to a report from Rich Cimini of ESPN, Aaron Rodgers was quite frustrated at some sloppy play during practice, including some sacks, an interception, and a moment where one offensive lineman stepped on his foot.
After practice, wide receiver Allen Lazard – a longtime teammate of Rodgers’ who followed him to New York from Green Bay – offered his reaction to Rodgers’ frustration.
“I would say ‘demonstrative’ is a good word for him,” Lazard said according to Cimini. “You’re talking about one of the best, if not the best quarterback of all time, and his standard and level of play is something a lot of guys haven’t seen yet. Even this organization — they haven’t really been with him on game day, because being with him on the sideline on a Sunday is different.
“Honestly, he expects the same standard that he holds himself to out of everyone else, and today just didn’t resemble that at all. I think as an offense we were just a little bit sloppy.”
Clearly, Lazard was not too bothered by Rodgers’ frustration.
