FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:
1. Recharged and ready: Steve Wilks went from the San Francisco 49ers to the Charlotte 49ers, from the bright lights of the Super Bowl stage to the solitude of a darkened film room on a college campus. Quite a journey for the Jets' new defensive coordinator.
After one year as the 49ers' coordinator for the 2023 NFL season -- he was abruptly fired after their 25-22 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII -- Wilks sat out 2024 and took a volunteer position at UNC Charlotte.
