Aaron Rodgers is 41 years old with an uncertain future in the NFL, but he wouldn't be against mentoring a rookie if he is still on the New York Jets in 2025.

"So if [the Jets] asked me back and they drafted a guy, I'd mentor the hell out of him if I was playing and I'd try to play as well as I could to keep him on the bench," he said Wednesday, per ESPN's Rich Cimini.

That attitude seems to be somewhat different than the one he had as a 36-year-old on the Green Bay Packers when the NFC North team selected Jordan Love with a first-round pick in 2020.
