The New York Jets will certainly be hoping for better injury luck during the 2024 NFL season as they hopefully get a fully healthy Aaron Rodgers under center.
Rodgers was supposed to be New York’s savior when the organization traded for him last offseason, but his first year with the team went horribly wrong as he tore his Achilles on their first offensive series of the 2023 NFL campaign and missed the remainder of the year.
Although the future Hall of Famer was able to get back on the practice field later in the year, the Jets wisely held him out from playing after they were eliminated from the postseason.
Now, Rodgers has been fully participating in OTAs and is expected to start for New York once Week 1 rolls around.
Rodgers will have several offensive weapons to utilize, most notably Garrett Wilson who appears set to take the next leap in his rise as one of the best wideouts in the league.
However, Rodgers will also get to throw to Malachi Corley who he revealed he was a huge fan of in the 2024 NFL Draft via Rich Cimini of ESPN.
Rodgers, in an interview with the Official Jets Podcast, called Malachi Corley “my favorite receiver in the draft.”
Corley was taken by the Jets No. 65 overall after they traded up to get him, a sign that they were listening to Rodgers during the draft.
A catch-and-run specialist, Corley is expected to resume his college role as a short-yardage target who can create plays with the football in his hands.
