The New York Jets defense was supposed to be a disaster waiting to happen in 2019. Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts were the starting corners and the team had no pass rush.
Things only looked worse when the injuries started to pile up. Avery Williamson, C.J. Mosley, and Quinnen Williams were just some of the important players who went down with significant injuries.
Halfway through the season, the Jets were starting Neville Hewitt and James Burgess at linebacker with Arthur Maulet and sixth-round rookie Bless Austin starting at cornerback.
