'Hard Knocks,' Week 1: The Jets take off

In the span of a few years, the New York Jets have gone from laughingstock to must-see TV.

With their future Hall of Fame quarterback, charismatic coach and saucy cornerback, they debuted Tuesday night on HBO's "Hard Knocks '23: Training Camp with the New York Jets." For a camera-shy team -- remember, they didn't want this gig -- the Jets come off as a loose, fun-loving team that marvels at everything Aaron Rodgers says and does.

Predictably, Rodgers is the star of the first episode. For the first 12 minutes, it's all about him, with comparisons to Joe Namath spliced into the opening.
