It took less than three minutes into the first episode of HBO's Hard Knocks to establish new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the star of the show.
The show started with a montage highlighting the Jets' only Super Bowl appearance and victory in 1969, bolstered by Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, and was followed by the introduction of the Super Bowl winner with theand future Hall of Famer Rodgers' journey from the"Frozen Tundra" of Lambeau Field to New York's glitz.
For most quarterbacks, throwing for nearly 3,700 yards with over twice as many touchdowns as interceptions is an above-average year. However, Rodgers entered 2022-23 with four consecutive seasons of compiling 4,000 passing yards. In the previous season, he threw 37 touchdowns to four picks; in 2020, he had 48 touchdowns versus five interceptions. He also had not thrown double-digit interceptions since 2011, when he had 11 for the Packers.
Expecting Rodgers to replicate production from a decade ago, entering his 19th season at age 39, could be a tall task. Jets head coach Robert Saleh and his squad seemed to embrace Rodgers quickly.
