Aaron Rodgers, the former quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, has received a lot of criticism over a decision he made in recent weeks. As part of another event he had planned in Egypt, he declined to participate in the team’s mandatory minicamp.
It is evident that the media loves to portray Rodgers in a negative light. There has been constant negative coverage of the 40-year-old superstar in the media for the past few years.
However, one former teammate has had enough.

According to Evan Massey of FanSided:
Despite the media taking the story and running with it, those who actually matter have been very supportive.
Head coach Robert Saleh went as far as to say that he was “on the same page” with Rodgers. Sauce Gardner is another name who has defended his quarterback.
Now, another former teammate has spoken out about Rodgers and defended him.
James Jones, a former teammate with the Green Bay Packers and a current NFL analyst, revealed his thoughts about the situation.
“If I’m Aaron Rodgers, a 4-time MVP, and I’ve been at everything with the Jets for the last two years, there’s nothing wrong with missing two days.”
That is a very good point. Rodgers has attended many different things that the media did not expect him to attend.
Even when he was rehabbing from the torn Achilles he suffered on the first offensive drive of the season last year, he was working hard to re-join the team on the sideline. He has attended things that he had stopped attending when he was with the Packers.
Rodgers has clearly been all-in with the Jets since being acquired. Having another event and missing one two-day camp is not the end of the world.
