The Jets are hoping to soar to new heights in 2023, but their flight won't get off the ground if they don't fix a bad offensive line.And for a team that likes to play things close to the vest, that hasn't been the case when Zander Horvath Jersey it comes to protecting Aaron Rodgers. It's been well-documented that the Jets are coming into the 2023 season with plenty of new talent and a mountain of expectations.
