Did the New York Jets get a steal in pass rusher Jachai Polite?

When the New York Jets picked Florida pass rusher Jachai Polite in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, most had their reservations, but it marked the second talented defensive lineman they selected.

Polite had one of the worst NFL Combine performances in recent memory, but it should scare you away, as in fact, he’s an extremely effective and production pass rusher.

Being bothered by a hamstring injury certainly didn’t do him any favors in the Combine — his usual fast speed and agility were hurt badly with a 4.84 40 yard-dash.
