The second episode of the New York Jets‘ documentary series “Flight 23: Ascension” launched on Thursday night. This episode primarily focused on the 2023 NFL draft, showcasing some fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Jets’ draft process.
One of the most interesting tidbits emerged from a segment that showed the Jets’ war room mulling over its options as the 15th overall pick approached. Apparently, based on the discussions shown in the documentary, Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer was one of the Jets’ top-ranked options when they came onto the clock at No. 15.
Only three prospects were mentioned by name in this segment of the documentary, which was filmed prior to the Jets’ selection: Mayer, Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald, and Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones.
