Aaron Rodgers is up to ace the NFL storm with the New York Jets this September. After bidding farewell to the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers was pumped up to pour his heart and soul into practice in training camp with the Jets. Let’s be real: the Jets have been facing quite a rough time for half a century, and Rodgers is like a glimmer of hope in the gloom for them.
Rodgers gave his all during his practice sessions with the Jets. As he starts his first season with the team, all eyes are on him. Even the Jets’ head coach recognized his hard work, which led to a boost in the team’s motivation. However, fans are now curious about two other athletes who were featured in the recent Hard Knocks promo, as Aaron Rodgers was not included.

This season, HBO’s Hard Knocks will go live on the 8th of August with Jets on its roaster. On Wednesday, the legendary show released a clip on the NFL Twitter handle, portraying two of the finest stars of the Jets: Garett Wilson and Sauce Garner. These two are two of the finest players in the league. In the video, they can be seen joking around with each other.
“OROY vs. DROY. Practice doesn’t get better than this. 🔥 @GarrettWilson_V @iamSauceGardner. #HardKnocks with the @nyjets premieres August 8th on @StreamOnMax,” captioned the post.

Aaron Rodgers appeared at the end of the clip, where he was seen speaking with two of them about their performance. In the past few seasons, Wilson shook everyone with his spectacular performance with around 83 interceptions and 1,103 receiving yards, which made him the offensive rookie of the year. And Sauce Gardner is also the defensive rookie of the year.

Rodger’s views on Hard knocks
Aaron Rodgers expressed his disinterest in participating in HBO’s Hard Knocks, which follows one NFL team each year during its pre-season training camp. The Jets announced last week that their team would be the focus of this latest season. Rodgers, 39, said that the Jets were forced to participate in the series, which follows one NFL team each year during its pre-season training camp. The five-episode series will premiere on August 8 and run through September 5. The Jets were last featured on Hard Knocks in 2010 when former head coach Rex Ryan was at the helm.
“They forced it down our throats and we have to deal with it,” Rodgers told KPIX. Is this why he takes a back seat in the promo? During his press conference on the Jets YouTube channel, Aaron Rodgers finally shared his interest in being featured on Hard Knocks.

“I look forward to, uh, everything that comes with that. We kind of knew that they wanted us to be a part of Hard Knocks. And this just brings more attention to us. I don’t think there’s anything nefarious about the way it went down, but I’m excited about people getting to see what we’re all about here,” Rodgers said. Rodgers’s presence on the team leveled up fans’ excitement, and they are excited to get a peep into their die-hard training.
