Through Aaron Rodgers’ years as a Green Bay Packers legend, all we talked about is how the QB never truly got the help he needed at the wide receiver position through the draft.
Year after year, the franchise would take a defensive player in the first round, or in the case of 2020, Rodgers’ replacement in Jordan Love.
Fast-forward to Thursday night. Rodgers is obviously now a New York Jet, and he tossed a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson in the win over the New England Patriots.
That connection is the first time EVER that Rodgers had thrown a touchdown pass to a receiver who was a first-round pick.
Is your mind blown? Mine is.
Aaron Rodgers' TD pass to Garrett Wilson was the 480th of his career.
It was the first TD he's thrown to a WR drafted in the 1st round. pic.twitter.com/5ZUE81lJQm
