Broadway Joe Namath was touched watching Aaron Rodgers explain why he did not want to wear Namath’s retired iconic No. 12.

“That was warm, that touched my heart a bit, that shows something about the man,” Namath told The Post. “He has a way about him, a lot of respect for the past. I was humbly grateful, you know what I mean? It felt good. It made me like him even more (laugh). First time I met him I liked him, and I’ll tell you what, I’ve not seen anybody play better than him over the last 10, 15 years I’ve been watching.”

As someone well-versed with second acts in New York, Brett Favre believes Aaron Rodgers will thrive with the Jets.

Speaking to ESPN after Rodgers was traded to the Jets from the Packers on Monday in a blockbuster move, Favre — who followed that same path years prior — proclaimed the four-time league MVP “will do great” on Broadway.

“He will handle the transition as well as anyone. [He’s a] very smart and instinctive person, on and off the field. In other words, you’re not going to catch him by surprise very often,” the 53-year-old Favre told the Worldwide Leader.

“And I think [he’s] the best at making everyone around him better. I would rather not bet at all than bet against him.”

At the end of the Jets' season, Zach Wilson said if the Jets brought in a new quarterback, he would "make that dude's life hell in practice every day.

Here's what Rodgers had to say about Wilson on Wednesday.

A reporter asked Aaron Rodgers for the best number to reach him at, and the new Jets quarterback responded, "ask Adam Schefter."

Rodgers told "The Pat McAfee Show" last month he told Schefter to "lose my number" when Schefter reached out via text.

Schefter responded to Rodgers' Wednesday comment.

After saying during his press conference he was focused on 2023, Aaron Rodgers told beat reporters that he doesn't see himself as being "one and done" with the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers kept the receipts — or the call logs, for that matter.

When speaking to the media Wednesday in his first press conference as a member of the Jets, the quarterback was asked about communication allegations lobbied by Packers brass in the offseason, which included allegations of ghosting on Rodgers’ part, before Monday’s blockbuster trade.

“I don’t know if I really need to get into the specifics. I will say, people that know me, I’m fortunate to live in a beautiful house, the only downside is I have very limited cell service, so if you want to get a hold of me, I have to see your face, you have to FaceTime me,” Rodgers said.

“The only response to the communication thing is, there’s records in your phone about who called you, when, FaceTime, and there wasn’t any specific FaceTimes for many of those numbers that I was looking at.”

Aaron Rodgers and former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett are reunited with the Jets, and Hackett couldn't be happier.

Aaron Rodgers said it would be "legendary" for the Jets to get back to where the team "deserves" to be, presumably meaning back in the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers posed with owner Woody Johnson holding his new No. 8 Jets jersey.

Aaron Rodgers believes in the roster Jets general manager Joe Douglas has assembled.

Joe Douglas was asked by SNY if it's now Super Bowl or bust for the Jets with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

"I wouldn’t say that, but obviously bringing in a player of his caliber raises the expectations," Douglas said.

Both Woody Johnson and Joe Douglas told SNY that Aaron Rodgers becoming a Jet didn't feel real until he went on "The Pat McAfee Show" on March 15 to declare that he intended to play for the team.
