New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers took some criticism for his decision not to attend the team’s mandatory minicamp earlier this month, but it sounds like he is putting in some extra work this offseason – just with a player on another team, instead.
During a recent interview on FS1, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling revealed that he worked out with Aaron Rodgers at a high school in Los Angeles where the two ran some routes.
“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I’ve been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to L.A., and said, ‘Let’s run some routes,’” Valdes-Scantling said according to Pro Football Talk. “So we got it in, went out to some high school, and ran some routes together. We’re good. It was good.”
Of course, Valdes-Scantling and Rodgers spent several years together with the Green Bay Packers from 2018 to 2021 where the clearly developed a pretty strong relationship.
There’s obviously nothing inherently wrong with the decision to work out with a player from another team – players do it all the time during the offseason all across the league – but it’s certainly interesting considering Rodgers skipped mandatory minicamp with the Jets.
