While Louis Riddick thinks Aaron Rodgers will “light up” the New York Jets, former NFL cornerback Domonique Foxworth thinks the only player getting lit up Sept. 7 is Rodgers himself. Facing a strong Jets defense with a new defensive-minded head coach, Foxworth thinks the season opener could spell trouble for Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“If they can protect him, he can put up big numbers,” Foxworth said Wednesday on ESPN’s Get Up. “If they can’t, it’s gonna get ugly.”
Aaron Rodgers will get the national attention, but the determining factor runs deeper than that.
