Aaron Rodgers arriving at the Jets’ facility led to so many Ted Lasso jokes

A star player known for his, uh, quirky beliefs and behaviors being brought in to lift up a team known for underachieving?

Is that the latest season of Ted Lasso? Nope, that’s the Aaron Rodgers trade to the New York Jets.

But even Rodgers’ look is a little like that of Zava, the international footballer brought in to play for AFC Richmond in Season 3.

And with footage — some of it slow motion, of course — of Rodgers walking into the Jets’ facility after the trade from the Green Bay Packers was officially completed, there were so many jokes on Twitter:

So many Zava jokes
