They say a lot can change in a span of nine months, no one knows that better than former New York Jets third-round draft selection Jachai Polite.
Nine months ago Polite was coming off of a remarkable three-year career at SEC powerhouse Florida. Jachai got better each collegiate season and blossomed into a double-digit sack artist as a junior (11 sacks).
The talent was undeniable and he was widely considered a first-round talent with the potential to be a dominant edge player in the pros.
In February he participated in the annual NFL Scouting Combine which is a unique platform that allows draft-eligible players to strut their stuff, show their skills, and speak with the 32 NFL teams behind closed doors about a variety of topics.
