Based on his antics with the New York Jets on Hard Knocks thus far, Aaron Rodgers seems to be getting pretty comfortable in his new digs. He’s already carrying himself like the “wise superstar veteran,” and everyone around the organization appears to be in awe.
How Rodgers acts with the Jets even extended to their joint practice with the Carolina Panthers. Most of us probably didn’t know that a former Green Bay Packers coach, James Campen — who was their offensive line coach for 15 seasons from 2004-2018 — now holds the same role with the Panthers.
And when Rodgers went to greet Campen after all their time together in Green Bay, he wasted no time roasting him. In fact, insulting Campen in a “friendly” way was the very first thing Rodgers said.

This might be one of the few times I find Rodgers relatable because that is somewhat also how I greet my oldest friends. Sure, you might exchange pleasantries and compliments, but you’re blasting them at first, hoping they roast you back so you can have a little fun together.
Even still, how Rodgers insulted Campen was a little jarring. If only because it catches you off guard in the context of a full episode.
