Will the New York Jets rue the day they drafted Will McDonald in the first round?
With the way the Jets set up their team, that question may just be answered in the 2024 season. It largely depends on whether they decide to re-sign Bryce Huff. If Huff is no longer with the team in 2024, McDonald will likely take on a feature role in the Jets’ defense. Replacing Huff is no simple task, though.
Still, the Jets have one recent example of an edge rusher who was quiet in his rookie season before breaking onto the stage in 2023.
