Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to make his highly anticipated regular-season New York Jets debut in September. But in just one month, Rodgers and the Jets will begin working on the offensive system in earnest during training camp.

Nathaniel Hackett, who has familiarity with Rodgers due to their time together with the Packers, will serve as the Jets offensive coordinator. Hackett will be tasked with developing the offensive scheme and calling the plays.

But on Thursday, he revealed that the four-time NFL MVP will be given a considerable amount of "freedom" when it comes to the team's offense.

"I think there's going to be some freedom with Aaron, and as we moved forward in the Green Bay system, there was definitely more freedom as we went," Hackett told Peter Schrager on "The Season" podcast.

Hackett added that he is building the Jets' overall offensive philosophy with Rodgers in mind.

"We're just going to continue that because you've got to take advantage of a guy like Aaron that is so smart and understands it. So, [we're] trying to build this thing for him and build it so that when he sees certain things, he can do all kinds of stuff and put us in the best position possible."
