Aaron Rodgers reports to Jets facility for offseason program after grueling workout
NY Post
The Jets are all-in around Aaron Rodgers, and Rodgers showed Monday that he is returning the favor.
Rodgers reported to the facility for the first day of the voluntary offseason program, as revealed by the Jets’ social-media accounts.
The first two weeks of the program are limited to strength and conditioning workouts and meetings under NFL rules.
The 40-year-old quarterback is coming off the shortest season of his career — playing just four snaps before suffering a torn Achilles in his left leg.
Rodgers was recently training with members of the USC football team, as seen in photos exclusively obtained Saturday by The Post.
It is a small show of commitment by Rodgers, especially considering many quarterbacks of his pedigree skip voluntary offseason program.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
