New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson in his first appearance in the preseason on Saturday night against the New York Giants.<\/p>\n

However, it was a little interaction between Rodgers and Giants linebacker Jihad Ward which was highlighted in a preview clip of the latest episode of “Hard Knocks.” The clip showed Ward getting into the grill of Rodgers on one of the plays and the trash-talking that commenced between the two.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t even know who you are bro!” Rodgers told Ward.<\/p>\n

Officials eventually separated the two and Rodgers would later throw the touchdown pass to Wilson.<\/p>\n

The cameras then showed Rodgers interacting with his teammates on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

“Then I gave him a line that\u2019s un-come-back-with-able. I said, \u2018I don\u2019t even know who you are.\u2019 Then he said, \u2018I don\u2019t even know who you are.\u2019 I said, \u2018bulls—.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Rodgers might, in fact, know who Ward is. The Giants linebacker had two QB hits and a tackle for a loss during the team\u2019s 27-22 win over the Packers last year.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the four-time NFL MVP was 5-of-8 for 47 yards on his two series and appeared to be more than ready to get the season started.<\/p>\n

The Jets acquired Rodgers in the offseason from Green Bay, where he spent 18 years. Rodgers and the Packers had a falling out that led to a trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I had some butterflies, for sure,” Rodgers said of the game. “I loosened up pretty good when I got the ovation when I took the field. That was a special moment.”<\/p>\n
