Presumably attempting to rally Jets’ fans behind the aging quarterback, a social media influencer recently called the Green & White X community into action and defensive end Jermaine Johnson responded.
“If you want @AaronRodgers12 back #Jets fans, let him know ,” said Harrison Glaser on X.
Johnson reposted the call-to-action and said “I did.”
The 25-year-old Johnson has been on Injured Reserve since tearing his Achilles in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. The 2022 first-round draft pick was coming off a Pro Bowl appearance as a sophomore.

Rodgers can obviously relate to Johnson as the quarterback tore his Achilles in the 2023 season opener. The future Hall-of-Fame field general made an attempt to console Johnson after the injury.
“I just told him I love him and told him I was sorry,” said Rodgers.
