Seeing as he didn't feature at all in preseason, the last time Rodgers played was on that fateful day almost exactly a year ago, when his achilles gave out four snaps into his feverishly-anticipated debut. It was the most Jets beginning to a Jets career imaginable, and now that he's fit and healthy again, he can finally do his talking on the field, rather than the Pat McAfee Show.
Breathing life into the accursed Jets would arguably go down as his greatest achievement, and the franchise has done its bit by bringing in top-level protection in the form of Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses and rookie Tyron Smith and No.11 pick Morgan Moses. It's up to Rodgers, Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson to do the rest.
The 49ers are coming off a perilous offseason after falling short in the Super Bowl, but they've managed to convince top offensive stars Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle to go again. Brock Purdy had a decidedly shaky preseason, but with perhaps the deepest roster in the league, the Niners should be serious contenders once more.
