Some NFL players have no personal goals for a new season, just the proverbial "1 percent improvement every day" and "helping the team win." Others have goals but would rather not say what they are. And still others are good talking about just what it is that will motivate them, besides team success, of course, for the coming campaign.

Which categories do these players fit into? Hard to say for everyone, but all mentioned have personal bests and franchise and league achievements within reach once the Jets season begins on Monday night, Sept. 9, at San Francisco. Offensive players are below, defensive players will go live Tuesday.

QB Aaron Rodgers
The vaunted QB needs pretty much the same things he needed last year to pass personal, team and league marks. At 59,055 passing yards, he's already No. 9 all-time. With 945 yards he would get to 60,000. With 2,307, he would pass Dan Marino at 61,361 and move into 8th place. With 3,738, he would slide past Matt Ryan into 7th. With 4,386, he would pass Philip Rivers at 63,440 into 6th. And with 5,034 yards — which would be not only a Jets record but his own personal best, surpassing his 4,643 in 2011 — Rodgers would bump Ben Roethlisberger at 64,088 and check in at No. 5 all-time.

Then with 25 TD passes, A-Rod would get to 500 for his RS career. He's the only player in NFL history with 400-plus TD passes and a 100-plus passer rating, standing at 475 TDPs and a 103.6 rating. He's also the all-time leader in TD passes to INTs at 4.52-to-1 (475-to-105).

WR Garrett Wilson
Wilson already has two 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt so he's trying to become the first receiver to open his Jets career with three 1,000s. He has a way to go for the league record of 10 from the start of a career, held by Mike Evans of Tampa Bay, while Justin Jefferson (4), Ja'Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle (3 each) have the edge on GW among the new receiving stars. Wilson, with Rodgers pinpointing him, sooner than later will set the Jets mark for quickest receiver to 200 catches. He's at 34 games, with the record of 41 games being held jointly by old Titans star Art Powell and Ring of Honor member Wayne Chrebet.

RB Breece Hall
Hall needed those 6 yards last season to get to 1,000 rushing yards but didn't reach it. He says that mark isn't important, which could mean with outstanding health he could fly past 1,000 without even thinking about it. Hall also led the NFL's backs last season with 76 receptions and 591 yards, so it's certainly conceviable that he can surpass last season's 1,585 scrimmage yards, second in the league to Christian McCaffrey's 2,023, and perhaps even challenge for a similar 2,000-YFS season, which would also be a franchise single-season mark.

WR Mike Williams
Williams, who he and HC Robert Saleh said will be ready to contribute on opening night, needs a mere 194 receiving yards to reach 5,000 for his 8-year career. And if he were to have a career-type year and go just a little beyond his best yardage season as a pro (1,146 yards for the '21 Chargers) to 1,184, he would climb onto the 6,000-yard plateau. At the moment only 220 NFL players have gained 6,000 RS receiving yards in a career.

TE Tyler Conklin
Conklin says he'd really like to take that next step in his career and be named to a Pro Bowl. One way to do that would be to exceed 61 receptions, 621 yards and 10.2 yards/catch and zero TDs. The first three figures with the Jets last year are all career bests, and he hopes to address the no scores in '23 — "That hurts a lot," he said.

Tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses
How about some nice round numbers for the Jets' two elder-statesman bookend tackles? Moses, with great health, can reach 10,000 offensive plays this season. He's got 8.841 regular-season snaps, 9,173 including the postseason.

Smith has already reached five figures at 10,378 RS snaps with the Cowboys last season, plus another 616 for 10,994 including postseason, so with the all-important great health and availability, he's well positioned to clear 11,000 career snaps.
