Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is known for being one of the best to have play his position. According to him, he is also arguably the greatest player in Packers’ franchise history (and he does have a good argument). However, he was not perfect.
While Rodgers will go down as one of the best quarterbacks ever at not throwing interceptions, his final pass in a Packers’ uniform was an interception, just like his predecessor Brett Favre’s last pass in Green Bay.
That being said, Rodgers recently admitted on one big mistake that he made during his tenure with the Packers, one that he is trying not to repeat with the New York Jets.
Aaron Rodgers Regrets Screaming at Green Bay Packers Wide Receivers

The Jets have already started training camp, which means Rodgers has a few media sessions under his belt this offseason. During one session, a reporter commented that they have seen Rodgers be more patient with his wide receivers than he had been in Green Bay. The New York media had expected Rodgers to scream at Jets wide receivers the same way he did to Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and others in the past.
Rodgers replied:
“You try to rectify some of the things you did a certain way that you could’ve done better.”
Not even the great Davante Adams was spared Rodgers’ wrath when he would make a mistake, as he shared in a recent interview with Dan Patrick.
While Rodgers has two of his favorite targets, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, with him on the Jets, he also has many other new teammates with whom he has yet to play a regular season game. One of these, of course, is Garrett Wilson, who Rodgers has said reminds him a lot of Adams.
We will see if Wilson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, lives up to that kind of praise. In the meantime, it is nice for him that he will not be degraded in front of his teammates the way Rodgers’ Packers wide receivers were.
