When the New York Jets let Damon Harrison walk, Deon Simon was looked to as someone who could slide into the position in the coming years. Like Harrison, Simon was an overlooked draft prospect, who has worked hard to get into the position he is in. He is a quintessential underdog looking for his day, which could come in 2017.

The Jets struggled in a lot of areas in 2016, which makes the struggles on the line not surprising. The Jets have a quality defensive line unit, however, when things just aren’t going the right way for a team, all areas suffer.
