If you looked at the Jets offensive line last year, well, it wasn’t great.
Collectively, the team’s quarterbacks were sacked 47 times — a bottom-10 mark in the league. The Jets running backs were stuffed behind the line of scrimmage 26 percent of the time, according to Football Outsiders, good for 29th in the NFL.
So, there was room for improvement. The franchise hopes that will come in the form of Spencer Long.
The Nebraska product, who signed a four-year, $27.4 million contract with the Jets this offseason, was in the middle of a Redskins offensive line widely regarded as one of the best in the league two seasons ago, but played just seven games in 2017 due to a quad injury.
