Jets Rookie Class Has Chance to Make History for Gang Green in Season Opener

While the Jets and their fans were less than thrilled to find out the team will be without left tackle Duane Brown for tomorrow’s opener, it does open the door for a bit of team history to potentially take place. With Brown out for the next several weeks, rookie tackle Max Mitchell will start at right tackle. This means right tackle George Fant will slide over to the left side.

What this does for the Jets is set up a possible first for the franchise going all the way back to their first even draft in 1961 when they were of course, the New York Titans.
