The New York Jets’ offensive line will be tested early on in 2020 season

The New York Jets made it a priority to allocate plenty of resources this off-season toward the offensive line. General manager Joe Douglas was simply tired of watching Sam Darnold get sacked over and over, having gone down 63 times the past two seasons. Douglas went out and signed guard Greg Van Roten, center Conner McGovern, and tackle George Fant. However, he also used the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft on massive Louisville tackle, Mekhi Becton.

The amount of capital he spent on retooling this unit to boost Darnold’s efficiency is exactly what the team needed.
