Jenkins Stands to Reap Rewards of Upgrades on Defense

By Kenneth Alcott

Taking Jachai Polite in the third round of this year’s draft will either make Mike Macagnan look like a genius, or a man who was desperate to keep his job. With a focus on the defense at the top of this Jets draft, Gregg Williams’ fingerprints seem to be all over the Jets first two picks with Quinnen Williams at number 3 and Polite in the third round. At this point, Williams must be like a kid at Christmas who can’t wait to try out his new toys when training camp starts. But if anyone in the building at 1 Jets drive is more excited than Williams, it might be outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins.
