NFL fans got their first glimpse of Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets,

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have finally parted ways. The veteran QB had requested a move to the New York Jets a while back. However, it seemed that the deal would never be complete. According to reports, the Packers and Jets couldn't come to an agreement on the compensation for Rodgers. However, the two franchises finally agreed, sending Rodgers to the Big Apple. On Wednesday, Rodgers arrived at the Jets facility in all his new team's gear.

The move comes just days before the 2023 NFL Draft. Some in the NFL felt it would be around this time when fans heard the news Rodgers was being dealt. Now Rodgers is rocking a different shade of green. However, the look may be hard to get used to for some. Fans quickly took to Twitter to describe how they felt seeing Rodgers with a different team. Check out some of the best reactions of Rodgers in his new gear below.

As you can see from the reactions, Jets fans believe they have hit the lottery with Rodgers. The Jets have been a franchise in disarray for quite some time. However, bringing in head coach Robert Saleh, the team has slowly looked to be righting the ship. Bringing in someone of Rodgers' caliber to play quarterback could be the spark this franchise needs. However, last season wasn't one of the stronger seasons of Rodgers' career from a statistical standpoint.

Rodgers finished last season with 26 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. The touchdown number is a massive drop from the two seasons before. In which Rodgers was named league MVP. However, Rodgers' numbers may not be all on him. Rodgers had been frustrated with the Packers inability to bring in talent at the receiver position. Those numbers could support Rodgers' argument with the team. However, Rodgers has moved on and seems happy going into a new journey with the Jets. Will Aaron Rodgers instantly make the Jets one of the best teams in the AFC? Let us know what you think about the move in the comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.
