Why are the New York Jets starring in Hard Knocks 2023?
The New York Jets have been mooted as the 2023 HK team for weeks, and there are reasons why they have been chosen. Here are three of them:
#1 Aaron Rodgers
Has the NFL had a more enigmatic superstar quarterback than Aaron Rodgers? Doubtful. The Green Bay Packers legend finally left Wisconsin after years of blowing hot and cold and has landed in the big apple.
The superstar quarterback's arrival in New York has created immense buzz and anticipation among fans, who will be eager to see how Rodgers interacts with his coaches and teammates, both on and off the field.
The show loves an outspoken superstar, and few are as boisterous as the four-time league MVP. The combination of Rodgers' talent and personality guarantees an intriguing storyline to attract attention and drive up ratings.
#2 A familiar face
The New York Jets appeared on the show in 2010, which was a sight to behold. Who can forget the vocal coaching style of former coach Rex Ryan and several sound bites that became notable after the season, like "That's being a jackass!" and "Let's go eat a goddamn snack!"
How about future Hall of Famer Darrelle Revis' contract holdout? The Jets served up a classic in 2010, and bringing them back in 2023 could elicit similar fireworks. Thankfully, rather than Mark Sanchez, the Jets' have Aaron Rodgers as the face of the franchise.
#3 Renewed hope
Buoyed by the monumental change at the quarterback position, the New York Jets look like a completely new franchise.
They offer a unique opportunity for Hard Knocks to showcase a team desperately needing a turnaround. With their last winning season in 2015 and a playoff absence since 2010, the Jets have endured a decade of misery.
Will this season be much of the same, or will fortune finally turn for the Jets? Stay tuned to find out.
