There are probably a lot of words that you can use to describe the current mindset of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Longtime NFL insider Peter King believes he has the best one, though.
King traveled to Green Bay, Wisconsin for Packers training camp earlier this month. He met with Rodgers to discuss how things are going upon his return to the franchise.
The one word King would use to describe Rodgers: “Zen.”

From the report:
You thought I might say blunt, or vindictive, or, if using a compound word, told-you-so. No. None of those.
Coach Matt LaFleur, in fact, was so impressed with the mindset and mien of this Aaron Rodgers who showed up on the eve of training camp that he asked him to break down the team after the first practice of camp. For the team that’s lost the NFC title game two years in a row, this camp is the start of a vital season, and so this first practice of camp is a big deal, for setting the tempo of the six weeks to come.
Rodgers’ future in Green Bay post-2021 remains very much up in the air. For now, though, he seems to be happy and motivated.
The Packers will open the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 12 against New Orleans.
