While reporters were not invited to day two of training camp, videos from bloggers and fans lit up social media this morning with clips of wild plays by Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his receivers following a day one where the defense prevailed.
Practice began and ended with Rodgers’ touchdowns. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson scored the first on a long ball and was virtually unstoppable. A resurgent Alan Lazard added a touchdown and tight end Tyler Conklin helped move a drive.
Left tackle Tyron Smith balled out against the first team defense, and the offensive line in general looked outstanding forming pass protection pockets that were rarely seen at all last year.
Clips began circulating on X (formally known as Twitter) and other social media platforms and were picked up by the Jake Asman show. Viewers, who have been waiting for something to get excited about went crazy.
Rodgers at his press conference yesterday said Wilson has the potential to be the best receiver in the league. That was on display today.
There is a lot of hype right now as players practice in shorts without pads.
But a consistency has emerged with players who looked good during OTAs, including CFL standout cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers who shined again today with break ups and an interception.
The team is still waiting for two-time pro bowler Hasson Reddick to end his holdout and report to training camp. Not much movement there to report.
A revamped deal should be inked soon, possibly within a few days. It only becomes a problem if the issue drifts into mid-August.

I actually agree with most of your points. The preseason hype is out of control for most teams. I’m worried about the Reddick situation. I’m worried about that the most. It could mean the end for Douglas if it goes sideways and they don’t reach the playoffs.
Ya wanna know why Josh Allen's better'n Aaron Rodgers and Tua? Well, let me tell ya, bobo! Josh is a blue-collar kid with Upstate NY grit in his blood. He's tough, hard-nosed, and ain't afraid to take a hit. He's like a snowplow, clearin' the way for his teammates!
Rodgers, on the other hand, is a California pretty boy who's soft and can't handle the rough stuff. He's got talent, but he's a choke artist in big games. And don't even get me started on the Jets - they're a disaster! Tua! that guy is hawaii. what does he know about football. Josh Allen's the real deal, and Rodgers is just a fading star. Tua is an overpaid snowflake. Go Bills!
