O’Connor had followed Jets’ search for the successor of the legendary playmaker Joe Namath, which made them a stock that made them laugh. Since 2011, the longest current play-off drought in NFL, they have not reached after the season.
However, after a Super Bowl win with 18 years and Green Mr. Packers, Rodgers was ready to change NFL’s smallest market for Big Apple and love the new lifestyle.
After seeing how Jets depicted in the Hard Knocks series following the training camp, he gained a large number of public appearances and Jets fans warmed up to his new stars.
O’Connor told BBC Sport, “I have been doing sports in New York for almost forty York and I have never seen any superstar athletes from another market embracing New York, as Aaron Rodgers did.” “It was a complete love festival.
“Jets fans did not get enough. The New York people really embraced him and did not care about vaccination views or conspiracy theories.
“Neil Armstrong has not cared for anything except for the first chance to see football ability and jets have reached Super Bowl for the first time since the step of Hagia (1969).
“It was a hard night to tear four games into the season. I was in the building and I wasn’t more hearted for an athlete and a fan base.”
Without Rodgers, Jets finished the 2023 season with a record of 7-10, and despite his return last year, the head coach Robert Saleh was dismissed when Jets fell to 5-12.
O’Connor said Rodgers planned “two healthy seasons with Jets”. In February, the new Aries Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey said they wanted to go in a “different direction”.
