New York Jets: Breaking down newly-signed defensive back Blake Countess

The New York Jets are fresh off a thrilling 24-22 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. And in the days following that game, the Jets have done a little shuffling at the bottom of their roster.

One of those moves was the signing of former Los Angeles Rams defensive back Blake Countess. In a corresponding move, the Jets waived cornerback Arthur Maulet who was a surprise roster member coming out of the preseason and had been used exclusively on special teams.

Countess was originally drafted in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles but was released by the team as a part of final roster cuts.
