The New York Jets and Giants are looking to move past disappointing previous seasons, with the Jets aiming for a playoff berth driven by the return of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a significant injury last year. Jets head coach Robert Saleh faces high expectations as the team has not made the playoffs since 2011. Meanwhile, the Giants have their own challenges, needing to improve their roster, but have added wide receiver Malik Nabers to support quarterback Daniel Jones, who is recovering from an ACL injury. In college football, Wisconsin's coach Luke Fickell emphasizes discipline and mental toughness as keys to improving from a 7-6 season, while the Raiders' camp shows a struggling offense despite an intense defensive presence. The Jets' first padded practice highlighted significant offensive struggles, with quarterback Rodgers showing inconsistency and issues with the offensive line, particularly with center Joe Tippmann's snapping. Overall, both NFL teams are under pressure to enhance their performances as they approach the new season.
