The New York Jets have not had a consistent edge rusher since John Abraham.
They haven’t had a player get to double-digit sacks in a single season since Muhammad Wilkerson recorded 12 in 2015.
The team’s inability to pressure the quarterback was one of the many factors that contributed to their last-place defensive ranking in 2021. The big question is if they’ve done enough for that to change in 2022.
The Jets combine new and old faces in the hope that this year will be different. They know that the pass rush will be essential.
