Jets release trailer for One Jets Drive
Following the announcement that the Jets will be featured on this summer’s edition of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the Jets have released the trailer for the latest season of “One Jets Drive,” the team-produced docuseries.
The series has been running since 2018 and follows the team throughout the season, whereas “Hard Knocks” will focus on training camp and the preseason.
Check out the trailer for the sixth season of “One Jets Drive” which kicks off Monday, Aug. 7.

The Jets will close their offices this Friday in observation of Juneteenth.
According to multiple reports, One Jets Drive will be closed for business this Friday in observation of Juneteenth.
Last week the NFL announced that its league offices would be closed to recognize Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery after Union general Gordon Granger issued an order freeing all previously enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. Teams around the league began following suit on Wednesday, with the Jets joining the Broncos, Browns, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Falcons, Lions, Panthers and Redskins in informing employees they will be closed on Friday.
Forty-seven of 50 states currently recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. Activists across the United States are campaigning to make Juneteenth a national holiday.
More than a third of the league’s teams have now announced that they will be closed for the holiday. Given the way things are trending, it is safe to assume most, if not all, of the teams who have yet to announce they are closing will do so sooner rather than later.
Teams around the NFL can return to their facilities on May 19, but the Jets won’t be part of that due to New Jersey’s stay-at-home order.
The NFL is reopening its doors next week, but it looks like the Jets will remain stuck at home for the foreseeable future.
In a memo issued on Friday, the NFL stated that team personnel other than coaches and players not rehabbing can re-enter team facilities beginning on May 19 if they are permitted to do so under state and local regulations. Under the provisions of the NFL’s first phase of reopening, teams cannot have more than 50 percent of staff in the facility and cannot exceed 75 people in the facility at a time.
“The first phase of reopening is an important step in demonstrating our ability to operate safely and effectively, even in the current environment,” commissioner Roger Goodell said in the memo. “After we implement this first phase, and as more states and localities enact policies that allow more club facilities to re-open, I expect that additional staff, likely including the coaching staff, will be allowed to return to club facilities in a relatively short time.”
Because of New Jersey’s current stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Phil Murphy, One Jets Drive will not be open for business until further notice. The same applies to the Giants, whose facilities reside in East Rutherford.
With Murphy beginning to gradually reopen New Jersey, there is a chance that both the Jets and Giants could be back at their respective facilities sooner rather than later. However, there is no definitive timeline as to when team facilities could be back up and running.
Until they can return to their facilities, the Jets will continue their virtual offseason program as they have been doing for the last couple of weeks. The hope is that New York will be able to return to One Jets Drive at some point before the beginning of training camp in late July.
