Aaron Rodgers is ripped and raring to go as he shows off his muscles in pre-season workout

Aaron Rodgers is ready for a fresh challenge in the twilight of his NFL career, and if the latest photos are anything to go by he’s certainly putting in the hard work.

The New York Jets quarterback arrived in the Big Apple last month and is already working around the clock to be ready for the new NFL season – his first outside Green Bay.

While he has been enjoying the vibrant nightlife around the city – including multiple Taylor Swift concerts – he has also been working hard in the gym.

In photos shared on Instagram by Proactive Sports Performance, the 39-year-old is looking ripped as he lifts weights during an off-season workout at the Jets’ HQ. 

All eyes will be on the veteran QB when the Jets’ season begins against the Bills in September, with pressure on Rodgers to take them to the postseason in his first year.

Rodgers is a Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers and has been voted the NFL’s Most Valuable Player on four occasions throughout his storied career.

As reported at the end of June, we could be seeing a lot more of Rodgers and the Jets’ pre-season preparations, amid claims they are being lined up for the new series of the NFL’s Hard Knocks documentary – despite their best efforts to avoid it. 

The Jets, the Chicago Bears, the New Orleans Saints and the Washington Commanders are said to be the frontrunners to be broadcast on this year’s show.

Teams that are pushed to partake include those without a head coach, those who have been absent from the playoffs in either of the last two years, and those that have not appeared on the show over the last ten years.

The Jets, Saints and Bears have all communicated to league officials that they don’t want to be in this year’s edition of the show. Earlier in June, Jets head coach Robert Saleh indicated that his team isn’t interested in appearing in front of cameras prior to the start of the season.

On the other hand, the Commanders volunteered to appear, if assigned. 

The Jets aren’t technically allowed to refuse participation, although the NFL doesn’t usually oblige a team to partake if it doesn’t want to.
