NEW YORK -- The word sounded a bit surprising — and frankly, fascinating — as soon as it passed Aaron Rodgers' lips.
The New York Jets quarterback was discussing his emotions before his preseason debut with his new team a few weeks ago when he acknowledged he's, well, just like everyone else.
"Yeah, I had some butterflies, for sure," Rodgers said.
Butterflies? Really?
That from a guy entering his 19th NFL season who has been through everything you could imagine on a football field. He has won the league's MVP award four times, played in numerous big games and won a Super Bowl.
