After an eventful offseason in which he fully embraced his new surroundings, New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers earned the respect of his teammates.
The team announced on Monday that Rodgers was voted as one of three team captains ahead of his first season in the Big Apple following this offseason's blockbuster trade from the Green Bay Packers. Linebacker C.J. Mosley and special teams ace Justin Hardee join Rodgers as the other team captains:
