New York Jets' gamble: Why they're rolling with NFL's youngest corners

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- From March to June, the New York Jets acquired a veteran player at every position group except two -- quarterback and cornerback -- and you certainly can't accuse them of ignoring quarterback because they took Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

Cornerback is a different story.
