Heading into the season, perhaps the New York Jets' strongest unit was the offensive line. Of course, in typical Jets fashion, that would all get turned on its head just days before the season began, with Alijah Vera-Tucker going down with a torn triceps that ended his season before the regular season kick-off.
It's not an understatement to say that Vera-Tucker was the most impactful member of the all-important unit. Sure, Olu Fashanu plays the premium left tackle position and Armand Membou is the shiny new rookie, but it's been the injury-plagued Vera-Tucker who has been the engine that makes the line go.
