Jets may have unlocked a former first-round reclamation project on defense

The New York Jets have managed to find quite a few proverbial diamonds in the rough on defense in recent years, and linebacker Jamin Davis is looking to stake his claim as the next to join that list.

The former Washington Commanders first-round pick is competing for the starting weakside linebacker job alongside Quincy Williams and Jamien Sherwood this summer. It's a role that will likely be used more than most Jets fans are expecting.

Davis appears to be the odds-on favorite for the job after the team's 30-10 blowout preseason win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
