Aaron Rodgers might need some time to get familiar with the New York Jets after joining the team following almost two decades with the Green Bay Packers. It didn't take him long to figure out how special wide receiver Garrett Wilson is, though, Caio Miari of theScore reports.

Rodgers said Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that there are similarities between the Jets' second-year pass-catcher and three-time All-Pro Davante Adams, who played the majority of his career with Rogers.

"Garrett, he's a talented guy," Rodgers said. "I threw him a pass today and just kind of turned and was like, 'Wow.' His ability to kind of get in and out of his breaks, there's another (No.) 17 I played with for a long time who does it better than anybody. But the explosiveness in and out of the breaks to 17 here is pretty similar."

Wilson put on a show as a rookie in 2022 despite the Jets' struggles at the quarterback position. The former 10th overall pick caught 83 passes for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns en route to winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Rodgers and Adams played together on the Packers from 2014-21, forming one of football's top quarterback-wide receiver duos. Adams earned five Pro Bowl berths during his time in Green Bay and caught 68 touchdown passes from Rodgers while establishing himself as one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL.

Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March 2022, while Rodgers left the Packers and joined the Jets this offseason.
