Aaron Rodgers & Garrett Wilson’s ‘Passionate’ Exchanges Making Each Player ‘Better’

Aaron Rodgers & Garrett Wilson's 'Passionate' Exchanges Making Each Player 'Better'


The Jets closed practice with a red-zone period. Midway through the session, Wilson ran a crosser and after his defender got caught up going across the middle, Rodgers found the third-year wideout for a wide-open score.

“If we go out there and do the same thing we did the day before, that is not where we are supposed to be at,” Wilson said. “We are taking the notes we took watching film and taking it to the field. We always do a good job of competing, but I think the next step is finding a win in those situations and competition periods out there and we did that today, so it was a good day.”

Wilson and Rodgers plan to keep communicating. Wilson is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard receiving efforts while Rodgers, returning from a torn Achilles tendon, has been the sixth-most accurate quarterback on intermediate and deep passes over his most recent seasons according to Pro Football Focus. If health holds, the Rodgers-to-Wilson connection has a chance to be special.

“I want to be better for Aaron because he can make your life really easy,” Wilson said. “I need to be on my details, and he has been on me about being on my details. I am just checking in with him after drives and after plays after we see something on the field, because I want to fix them.”

Rodgers added: “He [Wilson] has got to get on my page, but I got to get on his page, too, because he’s got a whole book that I need to understand fully of skillset, and ability, and feel, and rhythm, and all the different things that he does out there, so those are good conversations, they might appear to be much more heated than they are, but there’s usually a smile on our face afterwards, at least one of us.”
