Mike Maccagnan is about to face his toughest challenge yet.
He was named 2015 Executive of the Year by the Pro Football Writers of America after turning a 4-12 Jets team into a 10-6 club that barely missed the playoffs. After setting the bar high, Maccagnan is tasked with assembling an even better team that will be postseason-bound. But can the general manager put together another impressive draft performance with even fewer picks (six)?
We’re about to find out.
Thanks to the Jets’ poor 2014 season, Macccagnan was gifted the sixth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, which he used to take defensive lineman Leonard Williams.
