Aaron Rodgers approves Jets taking OT, trading back in first round

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets could've given quarterback Aaron Rodgers the gift he's never received -- a pass-catcher drafted in the first round. Tight end Brock Bowers was available Thursday night, but the Jets opted for tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu.

And Rodgers, 40, seemed cool with that.

Appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show" during the draft, Rodgers called it "a great pick" by general manager Joe Douglas. "We trust Joe."
