🏈 Aaron Rodgers did not take offense to offseason comments made by defensive tackle Cam Heyward and strong safety DeShon Elliott.

“Well, I think there’s a great quote in a TV show that I enjoyed called Ted Lasso. Ted talks about one of his favorite quotes: be curious, not judgmental. And I think that’s kind of how I wanted to approach this season and anybody that said anything, I try and put myself in their shoes as much as possible,” Rodgers said on Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast. “And I respect the hell outta you and what you’ve accomplished in the game and your leadership from afar, it seems like you’re the type of leader that I’d wanna play with. So when you said that I didn’t take offense to that at all.”
