Here's our three final takeaways from the fifth and final episode of this season's version of "Hard Knocks".

1. Relationship between WRs Jason Brownlee and Xavier Gipson
Much has been made about the connection between undrafted rookie wide receivers in Brownlee and Gipson.
The finale begins with head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas bringing them in individually to let them know that they each both made the Jets' 53-man roster.
Once Gispon finds out the news, Brownlee is waiting outside the room as the two do their celebratory handshake and eventually celebrate with wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni.
2. Aaron Rodgers' UFO experience
Midway through the episode, Rodgers greets former college teammate Steve Levy at practice in front of the cameras.
The four-time NFL MVP then takes us on a deep dive on his personal experience of seeing a UFO with Levy prior to the 2005 NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
There were never any official reports on that late-April night nearly 20 years ago of an unidentified flying object in the tri-state area.
Here's a short clip of Rodgers' explaining the event from tonight's episode:

3. Getting ready for season opener vs. Bills
Over the last final minutes of the episode, we see the Jets' preparations for their 2023 debut against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium.
The production crew highlights plays on both sides of the ball but especially with the first-team offense. The final clip of practice shows Rodgers connecting with WR Garrett Wilson on a deep ball for a touchdown.
The show wraps up where it began this episode, with the camera panning a long corridor at the Jets' facility that will have impactful moments from each game this season. Unlike earlier on in the episode, images from all three preseason matchups are on the wall with plenty of space left to see what memories the Jets will create during the 2023 season.
