The New York Jets haven’t participated in the NFL playoffs since the 2010 season. They own the longest active streak without a postseason appearance in the league.

That built a certain reputation for the Jets – one that was shattered when New York traded in April for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a four-time winner of the NFL’s Most Valuable Player Award.

“When people hear New York Jets, they’re either going to think losses,” Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley said, “or now when they hear New York Jets, they’re going to think automatic Super Bowl.

“But we can’t think that way. We got to stay grounded and take this camp one day at a time because each day is going to bring a new challenge for us, and each day each person has to be able to accept that challenge and be able to take it on.”

Already in the Big Apple’s media spotlight, the attention on the Jets jumped with the acquisition of Rodgers, and the team reported to training camp on Wednesday under the omnipresent eye of the “Hard Knocks” franchise. New York’s training camp is the chosen focus of the HBO program this season, with the first of five episodes premiering on Aug. 8.

“You can start with all the cameras that’s around to start the first day,” Mosley said about the changes for this year’s training camp. “Obviously, we have a big name in Aaron Rodgers here. His first day here, you can feel a lot of screws and bolts kind of tighten up. That’s to come as expected with the name and the weight that he carries.

“Just the anticipation coming into this offseason and this camp. Everybody’s excited from top to bottom — coaches, players. You can talk to anybody in the building; everybody’s going to have the same mindset and excitement. I feel like we did a really good job this offseason during our OTAs getting ready for this moment. Now it’s time to go to work and put it together.”

The added attention means the Jets need to keep their focus on their business more than ever as they prepare to kick off the 2023 season against the Buffalo Bills in the opening Monday night game on Sept. 11.

“I feel we really got to keep our message the same – ignore the outside noise,” Mosley said. “More so than any time now, it’s easy to get distracted. If we let things be a distraction, then it’ll become a distraction, so we just got to focus on what we can control, and that’s how we’re coming to work every day. …

“There’s going to be anticipation on the outside. There’s going to be things that people say that we can do, what we can’t do, what people expect from us. But like I said, the only thing that we can control is what we do in this building. If we just keep taking each step every day going in the right way, then I feel we’re going to be in the right position later on during the season.”

The Alabama Sports Writers Association’s 2009 Class 6A Lineman of the Year at Theodore High School and a two-time consensus All-American at Alabama, Mosley is preparing for his ninth NFL season. He’s been a Pro Bowler five times, including last year, when he led the Jets with 158 tackles.

“I love the way he looks,” New York coach Robert Saleh said of Mosley as training camp opened. “I love the way he talks. He feels great. He looks fast. He looks lean. He’s tightened it up even more. He’s very conscientious. He knows his body.

“C.J.’s in a really good place. I don’t want to speak for him, but I love where he’s at right now.”

The Jets were the first NFL team to report for training camp this year. New York will kick off the league’s preseason schedule when they square off against the Cleveland Browns at 7 p.m. CDT Aug. 3 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. NBC will televise the annual Hall of Fame Game.
