The Jets enter the 2023 season as one of the more intriguing teams in the NFL. With Rodgers joining the franchise, New York now has a future Hall-of-Famer at quarterback to go with a roster that showed potential in 2022.
A key storyline on the defensive side of the ball is likely to be cornerback Sauce Gardner, who had a standout rookie season in 2022. Gardner is already regarded as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL.
Former SEC players who are currently on the Jets include Mecole Hardman Jr., Randall Cobb, Quinnen Williams, Carl Lawson and C.J. Mosley, amongst others.
The premier date for Hard Knocks in 2023 has not yet been officially announced by HBO.
