Rodgers is not a fan of Hard Knocks selecting the Jets
Recently, it was confirmed that the Jets will be the face of this year’s Hard Knocks series on HBO. But the 39-year-old was not welcoming of the news of cameras following him around in his debut season at the Big Apple. During a recent interview with KPIX, Aaron Rodgers stated that while he understands the appeal of why the Jets are going to be on Hard Knocks, the decision was “forced down their throats”, and now, “they have to deal with it.” This comment also led to Jets’ 54-year-old cheerleader Rich Eisen speaking up on it, stating that if Zach Wilson would have been the starting QB for the Jets, then some other team would have been more viable for the HBO series.
Will the 4X MVP enjoy the same success in his highly anticipated debut with the Jets, just like in the ACC championship? Only time will have a prominent answer to this question.
