The Jets’ offensive line concerns still loom, but it’s remarkable how much their offensive talent has improved over the past few years. Now they have a unit led by Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, Hall and Cook headlining a strong RB group and standouts Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and others at receiver.
Cook said that Rodgers was a big factor in his signing with the Jets. They battled head to head the past few years as members of the Vikings and Packers, respectively, and though they were pretty evenly matched in terms of head-to-head record, Cook saw enough of Rodgers’ brilliance to know he wanted to be on the same team as him if possible.
“Being on the other side of that for the last six years, you know, I couldn’t be on the other side no more,” Cook said. “So it was just like I got a chance (to) go join him and help him win. …
“That was a big thing to come over here.”
