Malachi Corley wasted no time. Minutes after he was drafted by the New York Jets with the No. 65 overall pick, he FaceTimed Aaron Rodgers -- a rather audacious way for a rookie to introduce himself to a future Hall of Famer.

By the time they hung up, Corley had scored an invitation to stay at Rodgers' eight-bedroom, $9.5 million New Jersey mansion during training camp.

The next day, Corley engaged in the old-fashioned kind of face time.

For five hours, the rugged wide receiver held court with more than 200 people at an upscale catering venue in his hometown, Campbellsville, Kentucky.
