CBS Sports Graphic Shows Extreme Aaron Rodgers Flair of Jets Roster
It's no secret the New York Jets built their current roster around quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but actually seeing it in photos really puts it into perspective.
In a recent Instagram post, CBS Sports put together a graphic showing all of Rodgers' former Green Bay Packers teammates who've joined him in New York - a list that includes eight players and one assistant coach - over the last two seasons.
Wide receiver Randall Cobb, quarterback Tim Boyle and offensive lineman Dennis Kelly were on the Jets roster last season, while receivers Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Malik Taylor, offensive linemen Billy Turner and Jake Hanson, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett are part of the roster this season.

Few would blame the Jets for trying to rekindle the Green Bay magic with Rodgers and his former teammates.
Adams is the headliner of the group. He was Rodgers' biggest weapon in Green Bay, and the two combined for 669 receptions, 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns, and Rodgers was a three-time MVP while Adams made five Pro Bowls and was named to two All-Pro teams.
Lazard had a solid connection with Rodgers as well during his time with the Packers. They combined for 169 catches, 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns over five seasons.
Rodgers also had some of the best seasons of his career under Hackett in Green Bay. During their three-year run together, Rodgers won two MVPs and he was named to three Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pro teams.
He also set career-highs in touchdowns (48) and completion percentage (70.7) in 2020, and he led the NFL in both categories that same year.
