Aaron Rodgers has no shortage of critics — but if you asked his former Jets teammate Breece Hall, he’s simply misunderstood.
On a special Fanatics Fest edition of Da Get Got Pod with Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson, Hall shared his honest feelings on Rodgers and his short-lived tenure with the Jets:

“Very misunderstood person,” Hall said. “Great dude, comes off to people a certain way. But once you really get to know him, you realize how good of a person he is. Last year, when you’re losing games, the blame gets put on the faces of the team, and it just so happened to be guys like me, Sauce [Gardner], Garrett [Wilson], Aaron [Rodgers], Quinnen [Williams], and Quincy [Williams].
“I feel like when you’re losing, somebody has to get let go — but what people don’t realize is when stuff is crazy organizationally, then it’s hard for players to have stability and win games. … But I love Aaron. Me and him still have a great relationship to this day. That’s my guy.”
Many argued Rodgers was heavily at fault for the 2024 Jets’ disaster — but Hall clearly believes the blame goes far deeper than any one player.
In his short time with the Steelers, Rodgers’ display of generosity in mentoring rookie Will Howard — and the respect he’s earned from teammates and coaches in Pittsburgh — has proved Hall’s point that the four-time MVP isn’t as complicated or egocentric as critics make him out to be.
