Not much ‘hope’ in Jets’ Aaron Rodgers-Nathaniel Hackett pairing: ESPN’s Kevin Clark
NY Post
The Jets are optimistic about their upcoming season, but not everyone feels the same way.
ESPN’s Kevin Clark joined the network’s flagship football show “NFL Live” on Friday and said he’s dubious of the partnership between Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team’s offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett.
“I was in Green Bay two years ago doing a story on Matt LaFleur,” Clark said, referring to the Packers head coach who was hired in 2019 and coached Rodgers’ last four seasons in the NFC before the QB landed with the Jets last offseason.
Clark continued: “I felt that the best thing about the Rodgers-LaFleur relationship was that LaFleur pushed Rodgers into new concepts, into new schemes, into blind throws he wasn’t comfortable making. And I just feel like this isn’t that.”
He added later: “I just don’t see a lot of hope here.”
Hackett was Rodgers’ offensive coordinator with the Packers from 2019-21, when he helped oversee Rodgers’ 2020 and 2021 NFL MVP seasons.
