Sauce Gardner and Aaron Rodger may not be able to recreate their newly invented handshake

Aaron Rodgers and Sauce Gardner have crafted a distinctive secret handshake that involves playful gestures resembling smoking. However, the NFL has reached out to the Jets organization, urging them to discontinue the hand gesture, citing concerns about its potential association with drug use. The league's stance on the matter has sparked uncertainty regarding the players' willingness to adhere to the request.
