Can Javelin Guidry snag the New York Jets’ slot cornerback role?

A 100-meters champion in two states (Texas and California) and the owner of the fastest 100-meter time in California state history (10.13s in 2017), Javelin Guidry is one of the speediest men in the NFL. He ran the forty-yard dash in 4.29 seconds at the 2020 NFL Draft Combine, tied for the fourth-fastest time by a cornerback in the history of the event. He also showcased tremendous strength for the position with 21 bench press reps, ranking at the 93rd percentile all-time among cornerbacks.

Despite his world-class physical tools, Guidry went undrafted in 2020. The 5-foot-9, 191-pound speedster was a quality starting slot corner throughout all three of his seasons with the Utah Utes, thriving as a true freshman and maintaining that success through his junior season, but scouts questioned his size, recognition, awareness, and overall technique.
