New York Jets: Ranking the 53-man roster — No. 6 Steve McLendon

]Another New York Jets season is in the books which means it’s time to evaluate this 53-man roster. This daily ranking continues with No. 6, Steve McLendon.

What does it say about a rebuilding New York Jets team that a core roster player is Steve McLendon — a 34-year-old ageless wonder brought in by the previous regime to replace Damon Harrison almost four years ago.

Since the 2016 season, this 6-foot-3, 310-pound 2010 undrafted free agent nose tackle out of Troy has played 43 games in green-and-white, amassing 119 tackles and six sacks.
