Aaron Rodgers makes incredible offer to New York Jets rookie after NFL Draft.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made rookie Malachi Corley an offer he cannot refuse as the team begins its preparations for the upcoming NFL season.
Aaron Rodgers is inviting New York Jets rookie Malachi Corley to stay at his guest house as the quarterback and wide receiver prepare to play together this upcoming season.
Rodgers, 40, took a call from his newest teammate during the second night of the NFL Draft, which was when he extended the offer. Corley, 22, was picked in the third round by the Jets with their newly-acquired No. 65 overall pick.
The team had moved up in the draft order to secure Corley, trading with the Carolina Panthers from their original No. 72 spot to grab the wideout. Jets general manager Joe Douglas did not waste any time before phoning the player and welcoming him to the team.

Corley has disclosed that he has been in touch with Rodgers since draft night, maintaining
communication with the veteran over the past week. “I talked to him on draft night,” he told reporters Friday before adding, “I’ve texted him the last couple of nights.”
The excitement in the rookie is evident. “I’m just like a little kid,” Corley continued. “He’s the adult. He’s the MVP, Hall of Famer, and all those types of things. I’m just like a little kid talking to him all the time, texting him and trying to see what he’s done to remain consistent in the league.”
He also expressed interest in learning from Rodgers’ experience off the field by listing: “The things he’s done to work on his mental health, how he’s kept his body alive so long” among the things he wants to learn.
