Skrine Ready for Increase Leadership Role

After the Jets released CB Darrelle Revis, 27-year-old Buster Skrine became the oldest cornerback on the team.

“I really can’t believe it. Time flies,” he said. “Every time I think I’ve been in the league seven years, it’s crazy to me. It’s a blessing, but now it’s time to take the game to another level and know people are depending on me to lead. And that’s what I’m going to do this year, be one of the leaders in the locker room.”

While Skrine anticipates the 31-year-old Revis has some good football left ahead of him, he is eager to see what recent signee Morris Claiborne will add to the secondary.
