The Jets' Terrific Twos, their draft class plus free agents from 2016, continued to make progress with this morning's word that LB Jordan Jenkins was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week after racking up his two sacks and forced fumble against the Bills.
"That just shocked me," Jenkins said today of the honor. "It's never something I really thought I was going to get. I'm definitely honored to have gotten that and it's definitely going to pressure me into trying to repeat that type of performance the rest of the season."
One positive notice from the league isn't a game-changer, but in general the Jets' second-year players are making their presence felt as this surprising season rolls along.
