The New York Jets have one of the most talented pass rushers in the NFL in Will McDonald. The 2023 first-round pick broke out with a 10.5-sack season in 2024, establishing himself as one of the league's best at getting after the opposing quarterback.
But despite his pass-rush brilliance, McDonald has a fatal flaw in his game that threatens to derail his entire NFL career if it's not fixed. He's not just a bad run-defender — he's downright unplayable.
The Jets tried to correct this issue in the offseason, with McDonald supposedly adding 15 pounds of muscle to better hold up against the run.
