Jets QB Aaron Rodgers: 'I'm not here to be a savior of any kind'

Aaron Rodgers was all smiles as he held up his No. 8 jersey with the New York Jets on Wednesday.

A new number with his new team represents a clear turning of the page for Rodgers, who addressed the New York media at his introductory press conference.

"I'm not here to be a savior of any kind," said the four-time NFL MVP, who joined head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas on stage.

It all starts with the jersey number for Rodgers, who elected against wearing his traditional No. 12 in New York even with the blessing of Hall of Famer Joe Namath.
