Breaking down the New York Jets UDFA: Who can make the squad?

It’s not often that undrafted free agents break camp with an NFL team. In Mike Maccagnan’s entire tenure with the New York Jets, only two UDFAs accomplished the feat (both of them in 2016 and both receivers). They were Robby Anderson and Jalin Marshall.

Anderson has since become one of the best deep threats in the NFL and the team’s No. 1 receiver. Marshall, however, lasted only one year in the NFL and spent most of his time as a failed returner.

With this year’s crop of UDFAs, it’s important to note that Maccagnan was the one who signed these guys, and no longer works for the team.
