Murphy wrote in his monthly column on Packers.com that he's ready to see the Jets on Hard Knocks and looking forward to seeing the many former Packers on the team, including Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Adrian Amos, Billy Turner, Tim Boyle, Malik Taylor and Adam Pankey.

"Hard Knocks is a great show and gives fans an inside look at a team's training camp," Murphy wrote. "It also provides good publicity for the team.
