The Jets concluded their offseason program last Friday, and now they get five weeks off before starting training camp.

The Jets will have an early reporting date to camp this year because of playing in the Hall of Fame Game.

That is one of the reasons coach Robert Saleh canceled the mandatory minicamp scheduled for this week.

It is hard to glean much from watching OTAs. These are really light practices with no pads on. There is really very little line play or running the ball. It is glorified 7-on-7 for the most part.

So I try not to overreact to anything I see in the spring.

But I still had some takeaways from the OTAs the media were allowed to watch. Here are a few:

1. The biggest and best news for the Jets all spring was how engaged Aaron Rodgers was.

If you go back to February and March, when we were discussing a potential Rodgers trade, one of the biggest questions was how involved Rodgers would be in the offseason program considering he stayed away during his last few years in Green Bay.

Rodgers was in Florham Park all spring, and he was all-in.

You could see him in practice mentoring teammates from Zach Wilson to wide receivers. He pulled people aside and gave them pointers. Even though a calf injury took him out for almost two weeks, he was on the field working and teaching.

When he was practicing, he looked every bit as good as you would expect.

His throws are different. Sometimes it looks like he is playing darts with the way he gets rid of the ball. His release is super-quick. He made some beautiful throws during practice, and it looked as if he already is building chemistry with his teammates.

Away from the field, he spent time with teammates and embraced the mentor role that a 39-year-old should.

The trade will be defined by how much the Jets win with Rodgers at quarterback, but the early returns could not have been better.

2. Staying in the quarterback room, Wilson looks like a different person. He seems more relaxed and sure of himself now that he does not have the weight of expectations on him.

The third-year quarterback had ups and downs in practice, and no one should think he has fixed everything that plagued him last year. But you can see he has bought into this career reset.

It helps that the Jets brought in Rodgers, who was Wilson’s idol and with whom he had a pre-existing relationship.

I don’t think Wilson ever will be the Jets’ No. 1 quarterback again. But he can get his career back on track with Rodgers showing him how, and can possibly compete for a starting job somewhere again or be a long-term backup in the NFL.

3. The Jets media relations staff hands out rosters at the beginning of practice, and there were two players who consistently made me look at my roster to check who these guys were making plays: wide receivers Irv Charles and Jason Brownlee.

Both guys flashed regularly in practice and made some nice catches.

Charles was with the Jets last year, having landed on the practice squad during the season. Brownlee is a rookie undrafted free agent who could make a case for a roster spot in training camp.

The young receivers had more opportunities this spring because Mecole Hardman and Randall Cobb were sidelined by injuries and Corey Davis and Denzel Mims were not present at any of the OTAs open to the media.

Charles and Brownlee each made their case to get more opportunities in training camp and the preseason. We’ll see whether they can keep the momentum going.

4. The offensive line is going to be a huge story in training camp, but there was not much to take away from the spring.

Both Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown were out with injuries, so there was really nothing to read on the tackle situation.

Hopefully, they will be ready for the start of training camp and we can watch them battle for the left tackle job.

The other spot to watch will be center, where rookie Joe Tippmann will challenge incumbent Connor McGovern for the starting job.

5. I can’t remember less attention on the team’s top draft picks. Rodgers has taken up so much attention that Will McDonald and Tippman were afterthoughts for most of the spring.

The draft picks usually get a lot of coverage, but there were not many questions on this year’s group.

McDonald showed the athleticism that got him drafted. He is quick and can bend around the edge. He does look small.

We won’t really have a read on him until the pads come on in camp.

6. The best player in OTAs was second-year receiver Garrett Wilson.

He seemed to make a “wow” play every time we watched practice.

Wilson had a tremendous rookie season with below-average quarterback play. He may put up ridiculous numbers this season with Rodgers throwing him the ball.

As the Jets break now before training camp, general manager Joe Douglas has one big piece of business to finish before the team reconvenes: He has to get a long-term deal done with Quinnen Williams.

The two sides are not that far apart, and the start of training camp should serve as a manufactured deadline for them to compromise and get something done.

The acquisition of Rodgers has made this a feel-good offseason for the Jets.

If Williams does not have an extension by camp and if he stays away or complains, it will suck away some of the good feelings.

My prediction is a contract gets done in the days leading up to training camp.

Garrett Wilson’s rookie year went about as well as could be expected. He finished with 83 catches for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns.

Here is where he finished among the top 10 rookie seasons in receiving yards by a wide receiver in the NFL since 2000:

1. Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals (2021): 1,455 yards, 81 catches, 13 TDs
   2. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (2020): 1,400 yards, 88 catches, 7 TDs
   3. Anquan Boldin, Cardinals (2003): 1,377 yards, 101 catches, 8 TDs
   4. Odell Beckham Jr., Giants (2014): 1,305 yards, 91 catches, 12 TDs
   5. Michael Clayton, Buccaneers (2004): 1,193 yards, 80 catches, 7 TDs
   6. Michael Thomas, Saints (2016): 1,137 yards, 92 catches, 9 TDs
   7. Garrett Wilson, Jets (2022): 1,103 yards, 83 catches, 4 TDs
   8. Amari Cooper, Raiders (2015): 1,070 yards, 72 catches, 6 TDs
   9. A.J. Green, Bengals (2011): 1,057 yards, 65 catches, 7 TDs
   T- 10. A.J. Brown, Titans (2019): 1,051 yards, 52 catches, 8 TDs
   T-10. Mike Evans, Buccaneers (2014): 1,051 yards, 68 catches, 12 TDs
