Since acquiring future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets have been the center of discussion. As a result, the NFL selected the Jets to be featured on NFL Films and HBO’s hit reality sports television series, Hard Knocks.
Recently on the show, the Jets brought Oz Pearlman to visit the team. Pearlman is a renowned mentalist who uses his distinctive talent to entertain his viewers. Mentalists are individuals who use their mental abilities to decipher mannerisms, behavior, energy, and more to perform tricks.
In Pearlman’s time with the team, he got to interact with Rodgers and left him speechless:

Rodgers and the rest of the team were left in awe when Oz’s simple card trick turned into him holding a container with a goldfish in it.
Since the arrival of Rodgers, the Jets front office has worked tirelessly to revamp the roster and build a team that could contend for the Super Bowl. They signed Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings, earlier this week to pair him in the backfield with Breece Hall. Once Hall is fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last season, the two backs will form one of the most dynamic duos in the NFL.
Despite having not made the playoffs since 2010, there is a different buzz surrounding this team. They have championship aspirations with their new signal-caller under center and are poised to end their long postseason drought.
