Jets D-Line: Numerous roles are still undecided

The Jets defense will look a little different up front in 2021 compared to the 2020 campaign.

As for the defensive line roles, some spots may be set while some may need to host position battles.

On the right side of the line, it’s essentially clear Carl Lawson and Quinnen Williams will occupy the starting defensive end and defensive tackle spots, respectively.
