Aaron Rodgers believes he is now running faster than before he tore his Achilles as the Jets quarterback edges nearer to a return to the field.

Mail Sport has been told that the 40-year-old is hoping to play for two or three more years despite his first season with the Jets being curtailed on night one.

Rodgers was hurt after only four snaps of his debut in New York and has spent the last seven months in rehab after having surgery to repair his ruptured Achilles.

He returned to Jets HQ on Monday for voluntary offseason workouts ahead of the 2024 season. Rodgers admitted recently that he initially feared the injury could end his career. 'I was really thinking: "This is it. You don't come back from this injury,"' he told the "'I Can Fly' podcast.

Now, though, according to a source close to the 40-year-old, Rodgers believes he is where he hoped to be upon his arrival to New York last year.
