Tyrod Taylor talks new role as Jets’ Aaron Rodgers backup after Giants tenure
NY Post
Jets backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, a 14-year NFL veteran and former Giant, connects with Post columnist Steve Serby for some training camp Q&A.
Q: What amazes you most about Aaron Rodgers?
A: Obviously he throws and spins. It’s like no one we probably have ever seen at this level. Obviously I’ve known Aaron from afar, had a lot of respect for one another. We’ve crossed paths throughout the 14 years that I’ve played. He’s a true leader. Obviously he’s played this game at a high level for a lot of years. He’s very personable. He cares about the guys, he cares about what we put on the field, he holds everyone accountable. … He’s easy to be around.
Q: Do you sense a hunger in him, after missing last season?
A: A hundred percent. Anytime anyone in this profession misses a year … I don’t think it’s for the outside, but I think he also wants to show this team, this organization, who they brought in was the right person. And we all believe that within the locker room. And I have no doubt in my mind he’s going to continue to keep playing at a high level. Just to see the work that he puts in day in and day out.
Q: Is there anything funny he’s said that has resonated with you?
