Jets Linebacker Looking to Bounce Back From Disappointing Rookie Campaign

It’s not very often one might consider a day three draft pick a huge disappointment after their inaugural NFL season.  After all, few players taken that late in the draft pan out at the pro level.  The second their name is called that late, the clock is ticking and expectations are low.  Any contribution is… Read more

Six in the Mix? Jets Should Have Half Dozen Rookie Draft Picks Starting Week 1

As the 2021 season draws closer, a combination of mounting injuries and impressive performances could (or should) lead the Jets to have six of their 22 week 1 starters come from their 2021 draft class with both sides of the ball well represented.
