The NFL is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams. Every year, the league produces a documentary-style TV series called ‘Hard Knocks’ that follows the daily lives and routines of an NFL team during their pre-season training camp. The eligibility of the New York Jets to be featured on the Hard Knocks show for the 2023 season is on. It’s been 13 years since the Jets were last featured on the show, and they could potentially be chosen again this year, along with three other eligible teams.

However, being on Hard Knocks can also lead to negative publicity or criticism, as the show often focuses on drama and controversies, especially with ongoing Aaron Rodgers or Odell Beckham Jr. drama.

New York Jets generate buzz for Hard Knocks

Since the New York Jets don’t have a first-year head coach, haven’t made the playoffs in the past two seasons, and haven’t hosted the show in the past decade, they are eligible to be featured on “Hard Knocks” for the 2023 season.

Two New York Jets players, Mecole Hardman Jr., and Justin Hardee Sr. reacted to the possibility of their team appearing on the TV show Hard Knocks.

Mecole Hardman Jr. reacted with the eyes emoji, “👀👀👀”.

On the other hand, Justin Hardee Sr. expressed a different opinion. He wrote, “Man y’all can give hard knocks to another team man we tryna focus and win that’s a distraction 🤷🏾‍♂️”. Justin Hardee Sr. thinks being on the show is a distraction from the team’s goal to win, so he would prefer the team to avoid being on the show.

Amid all this, the Jets are struggling with one more situation. They may regret not pursuing Lamar Jackson if they fail to acquire Aaron Rodgers from the Packers. They are also interested in Odell Beckham Jr. as a unique player for their team.

Chicago Bears not interested in Hard Knocks feature

The NFL has set certain criteria, such as not having a first-year head coach, not having made the playoffs in the past two seasons, and not having been on the show in the past ten years. Four NFL teams are eligible to be featured on the TV show called “Hard Knocks” for the 2023 season. These teams are the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Commanders.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Chicago Bears, George McCaskey, said recently that the team is not interested in being featured on the TV show. He believes that many other teams in the NFL have interesting stories to share, and it should be one of the other 31 teams that are featured instead.

“We feel there are a number of teams that have compelling stories to tell on Hard Knocks.”, “The 31 other (teams),” said McCaskey.

In conclusion, the New York Jets being considered for HBO’s Hard Knocks has generated a lot of buzz and excitement among fans, but the reaction to tweets by Jets players may not look interesting. It’s important to note that the Jets are not a rebuilding team – they are looking to go all-in to win now, with a possibly new Hall of Fame quarterback and high expectations for success.
