Following the Jets’ win over the Jaguars last week, the entire Green Gang embraced the holiday spirit. The team took a trip to Dick’s Sporting Goods for a special holiday shopping event with 25 children from Brooklyn. During the visit, Aaron Rodgers shared a hilarious moment with a young boy while helping him pick out shoes.

The child asked Rodgers if he was a football player, to which Rodgers replied affirmatively, adding that he plays professionally. He then asked the boy what he wanted to be when he grew up, and the child enthusiastically said he wanted to be a football player too.

Things took an amusing turn when the boy spotted Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen across the store, wearing jersey number zero. Mistaking Allen for Tom Brady, the child asked Rodgers if the player in question was TB12.

Rodgers couldn’t resist making the moment even funnier. “No, zero—that’s Braelon Allen,” he said with a laugh. “But hey, you were close”.

 

Fans also found the conversation hilarious, taking to social media to share their reactions. Many couldn’t stop laughing at Rodgers’ sarcastic reply to the child.

It’s great to see the Jets players still have high spirits and are going around trying to spread the holiday cheer despite their poor season.

It seems they have shifted their focus to the next season, with nothing left to play for. Aaron Rodgers’s future also remains uncertain at this point and these could be his final few days as a Jet.
