FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Carl Lawson has really high expectations for himself, higher than you can imagine.

The new Jets defensive end is not willing to share them, and he won’t lambaste himself if he doesn’t reach them. But he’s going to do everything he can to achieve his goals.

"Not every goal that you set is going to happen because there’s external factors," Lawson said after an OTA practice Thursday.
