The 2018 NFL season was all about improvement and development for the New York Jets.
The team wasn’t expected to compete — and they didn’t — meaning that this season was more about seeing the growth and maturation of their young players than it was winning. 2018 was intended to be the year where the Jets would build a foundation for future success.
This all started with the 2018 draft class, the team’s young crop of players who would hopefully provide a basis for the roster for years to come. Of course, much of this was centered around rookie quarterback Sam Darnold, but that doesn’t mean that the others wouldn’t be counted on as well.
