SPARTANBURG, S.C. — In the summer of 2021, the Jets traveled to Green Bay for joint practices.
Robert Saleh was in his first season as Jets coach. The team was preparing rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. The roster was undergoing a major transformation with Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas in their first season together. The team had four rookies in addition to Wilson playing critical roles.
On the other side, the Packers had Matt LaFleur entering his third season as head coach with lofty expectations for the season. Aaron Rodgers was the Packers quarterback, and Green Bay had a loaded defense.
Things did not go well for the Jets over those few days in Green Bay.
