Welcome to NFL Total Access The Podcast today I am joined by NFL Network National Reporter Omar Ruiz. We start the show discussing the most anticipated AFC revenge games of the upcoming season, showcasing the intense rivalries and drama that make these matchups so electrifying.

Next, we shift our focus to Aaron Rodgers and his potential impact on the New York Jets. We'll explore why the success of the Jets hinges not just on what Rodgers does on the field, but also on the qualities he brings as a leader and game-changer. Could Rodgers' arrival lead to an unexpected AFC East title for the Jets? We'll delve into this intriguing possibility, analyzing the potential effects of this high-profile acquisition on the divisional race. However, it's important to temper expectations. We'll examine why setting unrealistic goals, such as a Super Bowl win, for a Rodgers-led Jets team might actually result in disappointment, as we consider the challenges of building a championship-worthy roster.

Next, we'll make our bold AFC East predictions, taking into account each team's strengths, weaknesses, and potential breakout stars. Additionally, we'll assess the performance of each AFC East team in the recent NFL draft. By providing our candid evaluations, we'll assign draft grades to each team, analyzing their choices, steals, and missed opportunities.

Lastly, we'll explore what happens to NFL stars when the team they rooted for growing up doesn't select them. We'll dive into the impact on players' motivation, career trajectory, and the emergence of new rivalries as a result.

But hold on a minute, he won't be wearing his iconic #12 jersey?
