What an interesting choice of an interviewer. Alex Smith, a guy that was drafted ahead of ARod in the same class, former comeback player of the year after a horrific injury, so he knows what he’s going through. Terrific selection 👏🏽
Great interview. Two guys who survived the Dark Side jamming it out. A lot of us, even from NE, are rooting for Aaron to stick it to SF Monday night. The league is better with a functioning Aaron.
Alex did an amazing job with this interview. You could tell in Aaron's eyes that Alex telling him his greatest strength actually meant a lot to him, what a great moment.
Will always support Aaron. A true master of the position and the game. GB gave up 20 years of IP when they let him walk out the door. Very few players you can say that about.
Both, but ironically the one who wanted to go #1 to SF ended up having the more HOF-worthy career. Impossible, but it makes me wonder what if Aaron went to SF and Alex went to Green Bay and got to sit on the bench and learn for a couple years.
he’s a 49er. i will always remember alex being ran out of town by chiefs fans, they kept saying he was holding them back from winning super bowls. don’t change up now.
@@blocpartyrockerI’m a niner fan too. But let’s not pretend the organization and fan base didn’t throw Alex away. Twice. I do believe KC appreciates him more than SF.
49er fan, I’ve always love watching Aaron Rodgers’s and will always wish he played for his childhood team, always want my niners to win but I’m also rooting for Rodgers’s this season good luck jets wish you all the best and no injuries and a fair chance to compete this season 🤝
I dont get why people hate Rogers. He comes off as a good down to earth person. He is human as well. So what if he says some things you dont agree with. Im with you all the way from WI. You made the Packers great for so long. Thank you!
The MS MEDIA made him out to a the worst human being in the world… for one reason… POLITICAL… my body my choice party but NOT when it comes to experimental vaccines that are funding their campaigns… Sad… he’s a good guy
I tore my acl and meniscus a few months before I was going to start fighting in Muay Thai. Now I can't even start training again full blast a year after surgery, which was 4 months after the date of injury. When he brought up the beginning of rehab, it made me cry and tear up. I'm finally walking again 6 weeks post op. I never want to go through that rehab again. Praise God 🙏❤️
Listen to Rodgers & how he dealt with rehab: Push yourself out of the door each day; anticipate having small successes and long plateaus; set a long term goal of something you like to do (Egypt ) & view this video again & listen to what Aaron says. Never liked Rodgers that much BUT he is intuitive, insightful, intelligent and an excellent communicator. I have found him to be something of a renaissance man. But YOU still must carry the load. Good luck bro,
Just a few years younger than Aaron, i lived through 9/11 in Queens NY and even though I'm in Kansas now, I still have some love for my NYC hometown. I love his humbleness here, his humility, his expressions of being a vulnerable man, not invincible, however, still courageous in spite of setback. I pray for the best for the J-E-T-S and for Aaron, i can't wait till we see some really exciting plays this year.
As a Patriots fan, I don’t like the Jets, but I think Aaron Rodgers is a good role model professionally. Good for him to get over the mental obstacles of the achilles injury
@@CokeZorrobears fan ? If you could bring just 5% on the field what rodgers can do then i would complain about your comment, but man just stfu and dont write about role model if you dont know by yourself how to be one 😂 stupid a**😂
I ruptured my Achilles playing volleyball 2 weeks after he did. It’s an injury I would never wish on anyone. And being a “normal person” it was a struggle, mentally watching him recover so fast. I sure didn’t get the same treatment/urgency :) Everything he says here, I relate to. Happy to see him back and even after almost a year, it was heartwarming to have him talk about his struggles-and not play it off as an easy thing to overcome.
As a COWBOYS fan man I want Aaron to win one last superbowl and retire. Im calling Jets vs 49ERS Jets win!!!! Aaron has been a pleasure to watch for the past decade plus.
@@joshramirez7he is? He is always close to Super Bowl and highest grade playoff QB second is Brady, the Packers ranked 32 in points allowed in 5 playoff losses... Brady ranked number 1 in points allowed on defense in three of his Super Bowl wins that year one of them being they held the Rams to 3 points.... Jets have top 2 secondary and top 12 defense... so ya
That’s the difference between Rodgers and Love when he says “sometimes it’s something you can shake off like just a sprained MCL” Dude had a whole mentality
As a Bears fan I hope he wins one with the Jets...just not THIS year. He's still good for the sport! And he's outta my division but still a problem in the League, which is good for the NFL as a whole. I wish him luck in every single game that doesn't affect or isn't against my beloved Bears.
🚨It’s almost been a blessing for Aaron that it happened in that 1st game.. if not it def could have been the end. the thought of him possibly coming back for NFL Playoffs i’m sure helped a ton with mental, then at that point he was past the hardest parts etc. it’s weird to think but def was lucky that it happened so early imo. Love to see him have a great year as it took A LOT of hard work and focus to get back to this point. Football is the best
Hey Aaron. Thanks for your perspective. I just ruptured my Achilles last Sunday and I'm sitting here in bed having to learn the lessons you're directly speaking to. It's nice to see that someone can make it out on the other side. I hope to be able to make it through like you. I know you probably won't see this, but thanks for sharing your story.
As a Longtime Jets Fan SHOW ME SOMETHING This Year Aaron....Show Me Something Magical Like Tom Brady Does....Show Me You are a LEADER and WINNER....If You Get Jets to Playoffs This Year and Win a Game i Will Change My Entire Opinion of You as an NFL QB
I like how honest he's being here, the entire I'll be back before the end of the season thing was an obvious waste of time. And its good to actually get some insight into what was one of the most heartbreaking moments of last season
Two of the greatest American sports dudes ever man. Gyah, what awesome guys. And their careers... how they intersected. Hope they end up working together a lot.
Aaron Rodgers is a fortunate man. NFL does a great job glorifying and hyping him up. He plays in a lot of prime time games, TV announcers always talk about him, and the cameras are always on him. I’ve noticed this a few years ago. Must be nice to be him. Good for him but it would be nice to share the love to other players.
the no. 1 n no.24 pick of the 2005 NFL draft. It's amazing how much longer Rodgers played then Smith. Alex Smith doesnt have a super bowl ring, but Aaron Rodgers does. Which makes Rodgers a better QB, he had better pocket protection, he was able to move around with his feet well to avoid sacks n pressures. Even when pressured, Rodgers was still able to throw perfect pass down the field. He was able to run with a ball as well, once he rolls to the left n connect a pass. Rodgers was considered to be the best n his passer ratings were pretty good. He had the lowest passer rating of not throwing an interception, he was a very good elusive QB. Very hard to sack, not easy to tackle, his passes couldn't be picked off. he had a few 50 TD passes in his career n he's had how many rushing tds
as a lifelong Packer fan, I really hope that Aaron has a respectable season. I think it may take about 3-5 games for him to get in a groove, and then he will have a 7-10 game stretch where he is playing somewhat similar to the way he played from 2010 - 2014 and really be feeling it out there each week. Then the wear + tear of the season will begin to take it's toll on him and he will taper off as they head into the playoffs. just my gut feeling + prediction
As a lifelong niners fan, I hope we ball out monday against the jets..That said, this is the most centered and grounded I've ever seen rodgers and that could spell trouble..Go niners!
The fact they made a movie about Hernandez is kinda sickening.. tbh.. theres nothing to highlight ,dude was sick .. end of story... stupid ads... Side note.. Is that Alex Smith doing the interview?

Them being apart of the same draft class and Alex Smith having the long career he’s had is for sure something that most likely brought them closer
Amen!
Absolutely
Ultimate respect to Smith for even getting back on the field after all that. He very likely could have lost his leg. Very strong guy
But he’s also a quarterback…… I’m sure that plays into why he did the interview Lolol
Great interview. Two guys who survived the Dark Side jamming it out. A lot of us, even from NE, are rooting for Aaron to stick it to SF Monday night. The league is better with a functioning Aaron.
Niners gonna stick it up Aaron’s
Your jaw getting tired yet?
🤞🏻#8
Alex did an amazing job with this interview. You could tell in Aaron's eyes that Alex telling him his greatest strength actually meant a lot to him, what a great moment.
I caught that too 🥲
On first glance I thought Aaron Rodgers was interviewing Aaron Rodgers
they look more alike with helmets on!
I always thought they looked alike 😂
The night is always the darkest before the dawn
And the day is always the brightest before the dusk….?????????????
God provides light so idk bout you but 666 alert on this guy
Is that from batman???
Dude says that then loses half his face! I dunno if that’s the best quote? How about: “ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY! ITS ABOUT SENDING A MESSAGE!”
@@HarrisonHollers it's not that deep lol plus Harvey was the hero Gotham deserved
Alex and aaron are legends man this is a amazing interview 😊
This is the version of Aaron that people like.
I hope Aaron has a great season! Sending protection prayers his way! 🦋🦋🦋
Will always support Aaron. A true master of the position and the game. GB gave up 20 years of IP when they let him walk out the door. Very few players you can say that about.
What is IP?
@@Sam................ intellectual property.
A master of blame deflecting and losing to the niners in the playoffs
Is this Aaron Rodgers interviewing Aaron Rodgers or Alex smith interviewing Alex smith
It’s both lol I’ve said that since they draft day these dudes are twins lol
lol i had the SAME question! i thought they were doing like a Rodgers interviewing Rodgers weird thing lol
Both, but ironically the one who wanted to go #1 to SF ended up having the more HOF-worthy career. Impossible, but it makes me wonder what if Aaron went to SF and Alex went to Green Bay and got to sit on the bench and learn for a couple years.
Comment of the day 💯
Lifelong giants fan, nothing would make me happier than Aaron Rodger’s winning a Super Bowl with the Jets.
Same
I use to be as well until I finally had enough of the giants and they're bs, once they announced Roger's I gladly bought a jets jersey
Thanks. I'm a Jets fan who always roots for the Giants. All of their SB runs were awesome.
Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
If only most Giant fans thought that way. The attitude towards Jets fans as the red headed step child makes me want to root against the Giants.
Your life stops…. 😢 I felt that.
Lot of humility here with Aaron.
Great choice of interviewer in Alex smith
We're still rooting for you Aaron hope you have a great season ....GO PACK GO
A bears fan my entire life and I still have mad respect for this man.
This is a great interview.
Alex Smith is such a class act. He will forever be a Chief.
*niner
He did help them turn the season around befor Andy ried got thier
he’s a 49er. i will always remember alex being ran out of town by chiefs fans, they kept saying he was holding them back from winning super bowls. don’t change up now.
@@blocpartyrockernot even true the niner fan base is toxic and has ruined so much
@@blocpartyrockerI’m a niner fan too. But let’s not pretend the organization and fan base didn’t throw Alex away. Twice. I do believe KC appreciates him more than SF.

Gosh I’m going to be so nervous for him come Monday Night. God be with him 🙏
I dont get why people hate Rogers. He comes off as a good down to earth person. He is human as well. So what if he says some things you dont agree with. Im with you all the way from WI. You made the Packers great for so long. Thank you!

Loving seeing Aaron sit and talk to Alex. Same draft class, Alex taking the spot Aaron wanted. Relating on injuries… good match up
That's my quarterback 💪💪
Hes a geezer.
I tore my acl and meniscus a few months before I was going to start fighting in Muay Thai. Now I can't even start training again full blast a year after surgery, which was 4 months after the date of injury. When he brought up the beginning of rehab, it made me cry and tear up. I'm finally walking again 6 weeks post op. I never want to go through that rehab again. Praise God 🙏❤️
Listen to Rodgers & how he dealt with rehab: Push yourself out of the door each day; anticipate having small successes and long plateaus; set a long term goal of something you like to do (Egypt ) & view this video again & listen to what Aaron says. Never liked Rodgers that much BUT he is intuitive, insightful, intelligent and an excellent communicator. I have found him to be something of a renaissance man. But YOU still must carry the load. Good luck bro,
Keep pushing brother. God speed❤️
You got 10 more rehabs in you brother never quit.
Just a few years younger than Aaron, i lived through 9/11 in Queens NY and even though I'm in Kansas now, I still have some love for my NYC hometown.

I hope all of Rodgers teammates watch this through before Monday night football
Yo, Rodgers teammates don't have to watch this, they see & hear it everyday in the locker room. Up close & personal.
Don’t cough on Alex Smith, he’s dealt with enough.
Love that Alex Smith is the interviewer... Alex knows about resilience and injuries
They both stuck around too long.
My Favorite QB of all time. NEED HIM TO GET NUMBER 2 AND IM PREDICTING HE WILL
The 2005 NFL Draft QB’s Yes’sir!
The sprained MCL comment at the start is crazy now 😂
This interview is so epic. Amazing how open and tenacious both of these men are
Awesome interview. Both guys. 👍👍
I really enjoyed Aaron”s quarterbacking over the years. He became my favorite player.
The most humble I’ve ever seen Rodger’s, which is saying something. He’s always been a great QB, maybe now he is a better man.

Man alex smith is a great interviewer this is good bro
11:00 Rodger is right, as getting older, it's easier to get emotional and tear up little bit.

Fantastic interview!
I saw last nights game, he is done.
I’m picturing two Roman gladiators interviewing each other after battling lions and taking rough injuries from them.
How ironic Rodger’s mentions a sprained mcl injury and Jordan love gets hit with the same injury shortly after 🤔🤔
"just gotta walk it off" lol. I wonder if he texted Jordan that

When did Alex Smith start doing interviews? It was yesterday I watched him play for Washington.
