Jermaine Johnson, the New York Jets defensive end, is set to make his comeback from Achilles surgery against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He will face his former teammate Aaron Rodgers, who has also gone through an Achilles injury. Both players share a close bond, with Johnson reflecting on how Rodgers supported him during his rehabilitation process, even covering travel expenses. Johnson emphasizes that while he values their friendship, once on the field, it will be competitive, especially since this is a significant emotional milestone for him.
When my emotions are high, I tend to play pretty well. This will be my first game back, so there will be a lot of emotions.
Rodgers helped him so much during the early stages of rehab... I was blown away when I learned that Rodgers had picked up the tab for the travel costs.
