Remember that time middle school you argued with your bestie over who got to be Hannah Montana in the lip-sync contest? Yeah, that kind of energy, but with grown men and a lot more shoulder pads, is what went down with Aaron Rodgers' jersey number in New York.

| What Number Will Aaron Rodgers Wear In New York |
The Legacy of No. 12
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
For those living under a rock (or just not that into football), Aaron Rodgers has practically become synonymous with the number 12. It's like peanut butter and jelly, Rodgers and... well, you get it. Except, here's the twist: the New York Jets, Rodgers' new team, already have a legendary No. 12 – the one and only Broadway Joe Namath.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Unretiring a Legend? Hold Your Horses
This situation had all the makings of a heartwarming sports movie. Joe Namath, the ultimate class act, offered to let Rodgers wear his retired number. Cue the inspirational music! But Rodgers, in a surprising turn of events, politely declined. "There are some iconic names that have played here, probably none more iconic than number 12," Rodgers said. Seems like Rodgers isn't one to mess with legends.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.

Back to the Future (with a Number 8)
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
So, what number will Rodgers rock in the Big Apple? Drumroll please... It's his college number, 8! A return to his California roots, perhaps? Or maybe he just has a thing for multiples of four (because, let's be real, quarterbacks are known for their peculiar preferences).
Either way, here's Aaron Rodgers, ready to take on New York with his trusty number 8. We're all waiting to see if this jersey switch brings the same magic Rodgers has become known for.
