Even if Aaron Rodgers is fully recovered physically from his torn Achilles, the mental effect of the injury may continue to linger for the New York Jets quarterback.
ESPN's Rich Cimini spoke to a former personnel executive from an AFC team who believes Rodgers "will be hesitant to hold the ball because he wants to avoid contact."
Having a quarterback with a quick release time isn't a bad thing for obvious reasons. He's less likely to be sacked and the opposing defense might be caught out of position early into a play.
But the former exec worried the Jets' opponents may "overplay the short routes and choke the field" for Rodgers if they discover he's telegraphing his strategy in the pocket.
