Jets’ second-year lineman: December mirage or building block

As the Jets get close to training camp, I am going to examine the roster and give you my top 25 players. Each weekday, we will reveal another person on the list, leading right into camp. I am not including rookies on this list because I do not feel it is possible to fully evaluate them before they play a game.

No. 24: Brandon Shell

Last year’s ranking: Unranked, rookie

Position: OT

Age: 25

How acquired: Selected in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft

Years left on contract: 3

2017 Salary Cap figure: $598,992

Looking back at 2016: Shell emerged at the end of the season at right tackle after a series of injuries along the offensive line.
