Aaron Rodgers had his training camp press conference Thursday. Rodgers addressed a number of different topics, including a comment made by wide receiver Allen Lazard. Lazard referred to the Jets offense as “the Aaron Rodgers offense.” However, Rodgers made it clear that it is Nathaniel Hackett's offense, via the New York Jets' YouTube channel.

I’m not going to say it’s my offense,” Rodgers said, quote via Myles Simmons of NBC Sports. “It’s one I’ve had success in, for sure. But back in 2020, it was a conglomeration of what Matt [LaFleur] wanted to run, what ‘Hack’ had run in the past, and what I had run in the past. So, we just fit together. And this is kind of an offshoot of that with maybe a little more West Coast flavor to it.”

Nathaniel Hackett is looking to lead the Jets offense to success in 2023. Aaron Rodgers seems to believe in Hackett based on his comments.

“But this is really Hackett’s offense that I’ve been able to collaborate with him on,” Rodgers stated.
