Most New York Jets fans had been excited about the signing of Aaron Rodgers. Franchise icon Joe Klecko was initially unsure, but now rates the new quarterback very positively.

Aaron Rodgers has caused quite a stir with his move from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets. But not everyone saw this signing positively from the start. Jets icon Joe Klecko, a former defensive lineman, had initially worried that Rodgers would ruin the mood within the team.

Now, however, Klecko has changed his mind. “As far as him being a football player, I’ve always said there’s probably never been a more accurate passer and there’s never been a more accurate passer today. He’s the best passer in the league and a four-time MVP. I just wondered how he would get along with the young guys,” he explained on “The Jake Asman Show. “

Klecko draws comparison between Rodgers and Tom Brady

“I had pointed that out because we grew together on the team I was on at the time. That was a really cool thing because we got along so well. That’s what I was hoping for. And that’s what he’s shown now. He’s endeared himself to the rest of the team, and he’s out there coaching the guys. He’s doing the things you saw a Tom Brady do. I think he’s going to be a big surprise for everybody in New York. “
