Jets Grab Another Edge Rusher in Michael Clemons with Final Pick

By Glenn Naughton Posted On April 30, 2022

Using their final pick in the 2022 draft, the Jets opted to double-dip at edge rusher where they took Texas A&M edge rusher Michael Clemons. This, after taking Florida State’s Jermaine Johnson on day one.

Mentioned Clemons a couple weeks ago as one of a few players I thought should be getting more attention. Good size and motor. Had a monster game vs Alabama in 2021. https://t.co/N1gOVSniYN pic.twitter.com/W6nbaLklUr

Clemons has good size at 6′ 5” 263 pounds and 34 7/8” arms.

Clemons will likely be a situational pass rusher early on for Robert Saleh and becomes a part of a group with significantly more depth than they had just a few days ago.
