The New York Jets quarterback revealed what he discussed with the coach during Belichick’s last game with the Patriots.
The reason? Rodgers wanted to wish Bill Belichick a farewell as the legendary coach moves on from the New England Patriots.
Appearing on the program from what he described as a location in the woods, Rodgers—who made waves on McAfee’s show over the past two weeks with his comments about Jimmy Kimmel—discussed Belichick’s impact on the NFL and his relationship with the six-time Super Bowl champion.
« Bill did things his own way and had a ton of success with it, and people tried to copy it and couldn’t do it, » Rodgers said. « I think that’s the greatest compliment you can give Bill besides the respect of competing against him. »
Rodgers also expressed respect for former Alabama coach Nick Saban, who announced his retirement less than 24 hours before news broke about Belichick’s split with the Patriots.
« Those are two iconic, iconic coaches, » Rodgers said.
