It seems like every offseason in the NFL there are a few moves that could change the landscape of the league.
The most recent was quarterback Aaron Rodgers being traded from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets.
While Rodgers has a long track record of success in the NFL, he has never done it in the AFC.
Former NFL wide receiver and current analyst Harry Douglas talked about how he thinks Rodgers has more to prove than any quarterback in the AFC, even more than Mac Jones.
He said on “First Take” that Rodgers joining a new team and looking to be the savior of this franchise gives him the most to prove.

The Jets have Super Bowl aspirations this year and that is all due to the addition of Rodgers.
Last season, the Jets were a turnstile at quarterback.
They had a bunch of unproven starters and that was the reason why they missed the playoffs.
But adding Rodgers is like when Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A strong roster is in place but they are just a quarterback away.
Brady was able to bring a ring to Tampa Bay in his first year.
Will Rodgers be able to do the same thing?
The AFC is as strong as it has ever been.
Every game will be a fight and there are a handful of teams that could represent the conference in the Super Bowl.
Rodgers is entering the final few years of his NFL career.
He knows as much as anyone that the time to win is now.
