Aaron Rodgers eager for a helmet switch
Aaron Rodgers, the oldest player in the NFL at 41, is adjusting to a new helmet after the league banned his preferred model due to safety compliance issues. He described his current helmet as looking like a "spaceship" and is in search of a more suitable fit. As he prepares for joint practices against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rodgers is eager to implement offensive strategies against a different team. He noted the benefits of facing varied defenses during practice sessions, which can provide crucial insights for the team. Rodgers commended backup quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson for their performance, contributing to a recent exhibition win against Jacksonville.
He aims to act as a calming presence during practices, humorously referring to himself as "the voice of reason. " Additionally, he is focused on fostering relationships with younger teammates, many of whom were very young when he began his NFL career. This approach reflects his commitment to effective leadership and team cohesion.
