The New York Jets have something that they haven’t had in years, genuine excitement and expectations for the upcoming season.
The Jets had a season that was full of promise as they were in playoff contention for the majority of the year while knocking off some significantly better teams like their in-division rival Buffalo Bills. The fanbase finally looked like they had a team they could be proud of and there was some hope of landing talented free agents in the offseason.
The Jets roster is arguably the most talented one ever constructed. Gang Green recently traded for future first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason while bringing in key free agents over the past couple of offseasons like Jordan Whitehead, CJ Mosley, and DJ Reed. The Jets have also drafted generational talents like Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Quinnen Williams in the previous years.

While the Jets may have more media attention coming out of their camp for the first time in thirteen years, the amount of fan interest appears to be at an all time high.
According to an article on thejetpress.com – which is run by Fansided.com – Thousands of fans who had attempted to get tickets for training camp had managed to get their hands on the available tickets, leading to them selling out in less than five minutes. This also nearly led to the Jets Website to crash due to the rapid amount of purchases.
This will be the first time the Jets fans will get an opportunity to see their new franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers in action with his offense that consists of Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, and Long Island Native Jeremy Ruckert.
We reached out to the New York Jets Public Relations department to speak on the atmosphere of these recent sellouts and hype surrounding the team but we were unable to get any comments before our deadline.
