The seeds for Aaron Rodgers deciding that the grass is greener on the other side of Green Bay were planted at the 2022 draft.
because they offered him a chance to chase his second Super Bowl ring was made possible by Joe Douglas having himself a Joe Namath Super Bowl III night:The Offensive Player of the Year with the 10th pick.Trading up two spots for RB Breece Hall with the 36th pick.
“I don’t know the O-line as much, but I feel like there’s a lot of guys who have a chance to really make a jump and be special,” Rodgers said Wednesday.“I think I can pass on some wisdom. I’ve been around some great ones, the best in the league still [Davante Adams],” Rodgers said. “I think one of the most important things is always working on your craft. That’s what I saw from Davante every single day — he was always working on his releases, setting guys up.
The thought at the time was getting Zach Wilson an elite playmaker who could evolve into a No. 1 receiver. Turns out that Douglas drafted Garrett Wilson for Aaron Rodgers.“His playmaking ability, his explosiveness, ball skills, run after catch — he’s a very talented young man,” Douglas said. Gardner was on the board because the Texans selected Derek Stingley Jr. with the third pick. Gardner was a shutdown corner from Day 1.
Hall was the Jets’ 18th-rated player who would have given Garrett Wilson a run for his money for OROY if he hadn’t suffered a torn ACL. Douglas was tempted to trade back into the first round for him.“He’s a home run threat,” Douglas said following Round 3. “He can score from anywhere on the field. Excellent elusiveness, excellent balance after contact. And also, another guy that can be a weapon in the pass game. Really, really natural ball skills. And he’s a tough tackle in open space.
