FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In their final three practices of the season, the New York Jets were reminded of what might have been. And what might be.
Late-season practices can be a slog for teams out of the playoff picture, but they juiced it up by incorporating a "competition" period into each day and having Aaron Rodgers lead the way. The Jets didn't publicize it -- practices were closed to the media -- but soon word started to leak because players were buzzing about what they saw from Rodgers.
Until then, Rodgers had been limited to scout-team work -- running the opponents' plays -- but he was moving so well on his surgically repaired Achilles that the coaches decided to let him cook.
