The 39-year-old Rodgers played at Cal in 2003 and 2004 after transferring from Butte Community College. The 4-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion spent the first 17 years of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to the Jets this offseason.
The 30-year-old Uzomah primarily served as a blocking tight end while at Auburn with 29 receptions during his 4 seasons. However, 7 of his receptions were touchdowns. Also, as a freshman Uzomah did his best Rodgers impression by tossing a 4-yard touchdown pass.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected the 6-foot-6, 260-pound Uzomah in the 5th round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Uzomah played with the Bengals until joining the Jets last season. In total, Uzomah has produced 184 receptions, for 1,823 yards and 15 touchdowns as a pro.
Rodgers will make his Jets debut alongside Uzomah against the Bills in the Week 1 edition of Monday Night Football.
