Jets rookie quietly put together breakout performance in Week 6

And while much of the attention has understandably gone to top picks Armand Membou and Mason Taylor, one overlooked Day 3 contributor quietly put together a breakout performance in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Rookie fifth-round pick Kiko Mauigoa was one of the Jets’ standout performers on Sunday and a major factor in the team’s defensive success.
