From the beginning, Florida safety Trey Dean was arguably the most highly-anticipated defensive addition in the New York Jets‘ 2023 undrafted free agent class.
Dean was an SEC standout with impressive production. He fell out of the draft largely due to injury concerns, which also caused him to test poorly in the pre-draft process. The Jets showed their faith in Dean by giving him a $100K guarantee, the fourth-highest sum among all undrafted safeties in the NFL.
Three games into the preseason, Dean is completely living up to the hype.
Saturday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yielded Dean’s third consecutive standout performance.
