New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers would not reveal the advice he would give to New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye, following Thursday’s contest between the two teams.
“That’s a private conversation,” Rodgers said, while leaving the podium.
Rodgers was in top form for the Jets on Thursday night. He went 27-of-35 on the evening, throwing for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Maye saw some action late in the fourth quarter. The rookie went 4-of-8 passing for 22 yards.
Rodgers knows a thing or two about being a backup as a rookie considering he sat behind Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre before finally getting his chance to start.

If anything, the brief in-game action Maye received should be taken as a learning experience. His time to take the reins under center will come at some point.
He just needs to make sure he’s ready when it finally does.
