After being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2005, Aaron Rodgers spent one of the worst years of his career with the team last season. One of the players contributing to the four-time MVP’s worst season is the New York Jets’ Sauce Gardner as he knocked out possession by stepping up to the plate and befooled one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
Following the Packers’ defeat at the match, Gardner made an iconic celebration to taunt Rodgers’ former team by putting a cheese-head on as Green Bay’s fans wear cheese-heads to support the team. Things have changed as A-Rod is Gardner’s teammate now, albeit the cornerback brought a new series of backlash for the quarterback during this camp session.

In a video put out by the team, Rodgers was seen aiming a perfect spiral toward wide receiver Corey Davis and seemingly, Davis was set to snaffle the ball for a potential completion, albeit it didn’t happen at all. Instead, Sauce jumped up to catch the ball and finished an interception.

Though the ex-Packers dual-threat is known for recording comparatively low numbers of interceptions, his performance in the recent camp was questioned by many fans. The NFL community rallied in the comment section of the tweet to take subtle digs at the veteran.
A user exclaimed if the Jets’ new signal-caller would break the interception record this season.
OH MY GOSH WILL HE BREAK THE INTERCEPTION RECORD THIS YEAR

Quinnen Williams claims Aaron Rodgers’ communication skills make the Jets better
Some fans might be furious over Rodgers due to the incident from the training camp, but Gang Green’s defensive tackle Quinnen Williams seems to possess nothing but praise for his fellow teammate. Following Saturday’s training camp in Florham Park, the veteran said the 39-year-old QB1’s constant urge to improve overall communication brought a huge impact on the team’s performance as a unit,
“That’s the biggest thing that I’ve taken away just him being on the team, he will tell you right there after the play what you need to work on or what you’re seeing right there, or what he’s seeing right there when it comes down to the move he wants,”
Williams would now stay in the Big Apple for four more years following his contract extension last month. A-Rod was projected to play only one season donning the Jets jersey, albeit he cleared the rumor and even restructured his deal to minimize pay to ensure a long-term commitment to New York.
