Is New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers set to have left Egypt in order to lead his team through the wilderness to the Super Bowl?
It was the Biblical Aaron (the brother of Moses), who helped lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and to the ‘Promised Land.’ And after 13 seasons without a playoff appearance and over a half-century following their lone Super Bowl appearance, the Jets and their fan base are certainly hoping this season will see them through the desert and to a championship.
In typical Rodgers fashion, he arrived at Jets training camp on Tuesday with a little spice to his entrance. His t-shirt, a nod to his recent trip to Egypt (that drew criticism due to time missed from minicamp practice) and a smirk that let on that Rodgers knew he was doing a pretty good troll:

Rodgers and the Jets enter this season of expectation looking to build on what was a disappointing 2023 for the team. If Rodgers can stay healthy, there is every reason to believe that the Jets can not just make the playoffs but be a team that finishes atop the NFL’s pyramid.
