Mark Murphy is the president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, the former team of Aaron Rodgers. He seems to be teasing the Jets for Hard Knocks season 2023 because he thinks it would be interesting to see how Rodgers adjusts to his new team and city. And how the Jets handle the pressure and expectations that come with having a star quarterback. Murphy took a jab in his monthly column.
However, the Jets do not want to be on Hard Knocks because they think it would be a distraction, an invasion of privacy, and a potential source of drama or controversy. They have reportedly resisted the NFL’s attempts to select them for the show, but they may not have a choice since they are one of the few teams that meet the criteria for eligibility.

“I’m anxious to see the Jets and the many ex-Packers on ‘Hard Knocks’ This summer should be very entertaining,” Mark Murphy wrote.
Although the NFL and HBO have not officially announced which team will be on ‘Hard Knocks,’ many people think the Jets could be the chosen one. The speculation has been growing that the NFL Films production crew will follow the Jets during their preseason.
