It was a busy day of throwing for New York Jets quarterbacks.
Just hours after he stood on the sidelines watching the Jets defeat the Commanders in their preseason opener, Aaron Rodgers made a surprise appearance at Madison Square Garden for a comedy event on Saturday night.
Rodgers, 40, hit the stage at the end of a live episode of the “Kill Tony” podcast at the World’s Most Famous Arena and was seen launching several footballs into the crowd.
In a video posted on X, Rodgers is seen chucking at least two footballs as some of the comedians on the dais looked on in bewilderment.
The four-time NFL Most Valuable Player was introduced by podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe as he appeared on stage with a bevy of comedians, including Joe Rogan, Shane Gillis, Joey Diaz, Jeff Ross, Andrew Dice Clay and others.
It’s been an eventful offseason and early preseason for Rodgers, who was fined $50,000 for missing the Jets mandatory minicamp in July for a pre-planned trip to Egypt.
Since returning to camp, Rodgers has been seen in heated discussions with teammates, including with standout wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
Head coach Robert Saleh didn’t entirely rule out Rodgers playing in the Jets’ preseason finale against the Giants.
