If you're wondering why Aaron Rodgers seems to be pushing so hard to return for the New York Jets this season, the 39-year-old has some answers.
"My thing is, what's the worst that can happen?" he asked a group of beat reporters Thursday.
Rodgers posed the hypothetical question as part of an answer about whether people advised him not to work toward a comeback, saying "a lot of people" did. Those recommendations didn't matter because he's not worried that "something unfortunate" will happen again, he said.
"I think if you take the rehab slower and a little bit more deliberate, five months, six months max is probably the length to get back to 100% if you really take it slow," he said, per Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News.
