All eyes will be set on the New York Jets during the 2023 NFL season, and not just figuratively.
Unsurprisingly, HBO chose Aaron Rodgers’ new team to be featured on their signature show “Hard Knocks,” and it seems like we’ll be in for a treat.
Following some controversy and not-so-friendly remarks by both Rodgers and head coach Robert Saleh, NFL Films finally released the trailer for the upcoming season, which is set to premiere on August 8.

One of the main concerns about Rodgers taking his talents to New York was watching how he would deal with the media scrutiny in the Big Apple, and you better believe his fans, haters, colleagues, and pundits will dissect every single thing — whether it’s minor or major — that happens in that locker room.
The Jets have put together one of the most talented young rosters in the league, combining a physical defense with an explosive offense.
They added a future Hall-of-Famer to that mix, and the expectations among their ever-struggling and loyal fanbase have never been higher.
Likewise, they will also have more pressure on their shoulders than ever before, starting with Saleh.
Thriving in the AFC won’t be easy, especially if you have to face the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills twice a year.
That’s why dealing with adversity and getting back on their feet after rough patches could make or break their promising season, and why it’ll be so interesting to get a glimpse at the day-to-day dynamics inside that locker room.
