In response to Sean Payton’s criticism of the 2022 Broncos, when the head coach said that Nathanial Hackett was responsible for “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL” last season with Denver, Aaron Rodgers fiercely defended the Jets offensive coordinator.
In an interview with NFL Network’s Peter Schrager, Rodgers addressed Payton’s decision to criticize Hackett.
“Those comments were very surprising, for a coach to do that to another coach,” Rodgers said. “It made me feel bad that someone who has accomplished a lot in the league is that insecure that they had to take another man down to set themselves up for some sort of easy fall.”
