Seemingly their entire roster is full of guys that I’ve either never heard of or whom I forgot were in the league. I had seven or eight “Ahh, that’s where that guy went” moments when researching this article.
Remember when Leonard Williams was a beloved jewel of draft analysts, touted as a versatile and disruptive force on the defensive line out of USC? He’s now a fourth-year pro and a solid player. He’s played in every one of the Jets’ 62 games since the 2015 draft.
Safety Jamal Adams and linebacker Darron Lee were a couple other favorites of mine from draft research who ended up on the Jets, although Lee has been suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
