The New York Jets brought in a notable name for a workout on Tuesday, hosting former Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam on a visit. Elam was a first-round pick of the Bills in the 2022 NFL Draft, but his NFL career to date has been highly disappointing.
He's struggled mightily over the last few seasons, falling out of favor in Buffalo before a short, equally disappointing stint in Dallas in 2025. But despite his poor play, he carries the exact physical profile and stylistic traits the Jets covet under defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.
At 6-foot-2 and 191 pounds, Elam was billed as a long, physical press-man corner coming out of Florida, which is the very archetype the Jets spent all offseason targeting.
