Aaron Rodgers has a fan in Tom Brady.

During a live taping of the Knicks' Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s podcast, “The Roommates Show” Friday afternoon at the Fanatics Fan Fest at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan, Brady praised Rodgers.

“I obviously never went against Aaron but I admired him so much for how he played,” Brady said in response to Brunson asking him for his thoughts about the Jets quarterback. “I’m really excited for what he’s about to undertake here shortly going into the season. I think you have those injuries, they put a lot of things into perspective for you when you have them, and I want to see the fire that he’s got when he goes out there on the field. And how he [chooses] to lead the team this year. So it’s going to be an exciting year for the Jets fans.”
