NY Jets’ Jermaine Johnson offers something most EDGEs don’t

Plenty of NFL edge rushers can get after the quarterback.

Many can set the edge.

Some have a great motor.

A few excel at deflecting passes, too.

Very few can do all of these things. The New York Jets are lucky enough to have a member of this rare breed: Jermaine Johnson.

Making his return from an Achilles tear, the 26-year-old defensive weapon is looking to pick up where he left off after the 2023 season. In a breakout sophomore campaign, Johnson proved he is one of the most well-rounded edge rushers in football.
