The NFL season is just around the corner, and as such, the most prominent players in the game need to make the most of the free time they have on their hands.

Considering that, Aaron Rodgers did one of the things he enjoys the most, which is attending sporting events.

The New York Jets quarterback was spotted at UFC 303 alongside his former teammate Marcedes Lewis (via ESPN), making his first public appearance since his vacation.

Some tried to make a big fuss out of the fact that Rodgers wasn’t in attendance at the Jets’ mandatory minicamp because he was overseas on vacation, yet HC Robert Saleh paid no attention to it.

The veteran quarterback had been present for all voluntary workouts since he arrived in New York dating back to last season, and reports stated that he had planned his vacation long before they even released their offseason schedule, so the organization was well aware of this decision.

Rodgers has talked about his excitement of being a New York Jet and how much he’s looking forward to putting together something special in New York, and the franchise is clearly 100% committed to giving him everything he needs to get the job done.

He has a new set of wide receivers and a revamped offensive line, not to mention one of the best defensive units in the entire league.

So, with him getting ready to endure the physical beating that comes with playing an entire football season, it makes sense that you would want to take a couple of hours to watch some guys get even more beat up.
