Aaron Rodgers is trying his hardest to come back and play this season.
In his first drive as the NY Jets starting QB Rodgers suffered a devastating Achilles injury that many doctors believe should keep him out for the season.
While speaking with Pat McAfee, Rodgers insists that he’s being very aggressive in his recovery process and is showing tremendous signs of progress.
“There’s nothing normal about how I’m attacking this rehab.There is common practices about six weeks in a boot, and I was in a shoe in like 13 days.
“This is just my mindset. I believe in the power of intention. I believe in prayer. I believe in mental status and power of will. I believe in making room for the miraculous to happen…Sometime miracles are just doing things that no one thought was possible.”
