The NFL and NFL Films have selected the New York Jets to serve as this year's team on HBO's "Hard Knocks."

The Jets have been in the spotlight throughout the offseason due to the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers.

The league's criteria for teams to be eligible for "Hard Knocks" eliminates teams with first-year head coaches, teams that qualified for the playoffs the past two seasons and teams that appeared in the past 10 seasons.

That left four teams as possibilities: the Jets, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders.
