Although Rodgers himself is not enthused about the team being put under the microscope during training camp, which starts July 20, the franchise obviously understands the appeal. Expectations are as big as they have been in ages. The team is being led by a future Hall of Fame quarterback and resides in one of the top divisions in the NFL. The added Big Apple splendor and long postseason drought make the Jets easily the most entertaining choice.

Of course they will have editorial control, but that does not mean viewers cannot still be engaged by all of the compelling narratives surrounding the Gang Green. While fans will be subscribing to Max primarily to see the polarizing Aaron Rodgers, running back Breece Hall's recovery from a torn ACL figures to be a notable storyline as well.

The last time the Jets were featured on Hard Knocks was 2010 when the colorful Rex Ryan was head coach. The concerns about distractions or a circus ensuing did not materialize, as the team reached the AFC Championship. Fans can only hope this year's version yields similar results.
