Fans have been anxiously awaiting to hear which NFL team will be selected for the next season of HBO’s popular show Hard Knocks.
Some teams have outwardly expressed their desire to not be on the show, including Jets head coach Robert Saleh. Despite this, New York is reportedly “bracing” to be the focus of the show’s 2023 preseason slot, according to NBC Sports’ Mike Florio.
The Jets have been one of the considered frontrunners for the show, especially since the team’s acquisition of new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. New York also hasn’t made a playoff run since the 2010 season, which means fans are excited to see how the team is preparing this offseason to approach the ’23 season stronger.
While not much else has been reported about whether or not the Jets are expected to be the next Hard Knocks team, fans already began reacting to the potential news. Here are some of the mixed reactions from Twitter on Tuesday:

#Jets coaches and players may not like being on Hard Knocks and rightfully so but for the fans it will be tremendous entertainment

Said it on shows last few weeks but the Jets pretty clearly (rightfully so) have 1JD and have made it publicly known they don’t want hard knocks. It kinda felt like they were telling everyone, we’re gonna have to do it but we really don’t want to. Would be elite TV for sure https://t.co/zioBklclqm

Would be really interesting

Jets have their own Hard Knocks with One Jets Drive (which is very well done)
…allows them to tell what stories they want and how they prefer to portray them
How that conflicts with episodes of Hard Knocks could be fascinating https://t.co/r5UyYdIq8L
Just when we thought Aaron Rodgers was out of our lives, the Jets are on Hard Knocks.

That's like having the bully move out of your school, but his girlfriend still goes there.
As annoying as Aaron Rodgers can be, I'm down for another Jets Hard Knocks.

Can’t wait https://t.co/MXwiQRk8nK
I find it absolutely ridiculous that Hard Knocks could force the #Jets to be on it, even if they don't want to
— Harrison Glaser (@NYJetsTFMedia) June 26, 2023
We don't want the distraction. Coach Saleh made that very clear
Find a team that wants to be on it
Please stop trying to sabotage us
I know the #Jets didn’t want hard knocks but I’m 10000% looking forward to it! 🔥

I personally don’t care that the Jets are on hard knocks, the pressure been on regardless. When you get Aaron Rodgers this is what comes with it.
