Aaron Rodgers nearly upended the NFL schedule two years ago when he told some within the Green Bay Packers organization that he didn't want to return to the team. For the sake and sanity of those in the league's scheduling department, cooler heads prevailed.

The Jets will make six prime-time appearances and have four games in the Sunday afternoon late window.

Boston College defensive end Mike Mamula didn't have much of an impactful NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. But he was a trailblazer in the league nonetheless. He was among the first prospects to train specifically for the drills he'd perform in at the NFL's annual scouting combine in Indianapolis. He killed it and rocketed up the draft board later that year.

Linebacker Ochaun Mathis understood playing an extra college season was a risky move. He knew he could be aging out of an NFL career. Now, with more developed skills and a stronger body, Mathis is seeing his gamble pay off.
