Two of Jets Biggest Problems Could be Fixed if Draft Becomes Family Affair

With the NFL still several months away, JetNation.com will start to preview multiple prospects that Gang Green could be looking to target in Las Vegas in April, so expect to hear plenty about offensive linemen and wide receivers.

With that being the case, an interesting possibility would present itself as the Jets could find themselves in position to significantly improve both of the aforementioned groups by drafting a direct relative of two of their current employees in Florida in Florida wide receiver Van Jefferson and Temple Center Matt Hennessy.

The son of Jets wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson, Van Jefferson is a player who has exhibited elite quickness in his ability to shake loose against opposing DB’s and has made plenty of noise at this week’s senior bowl workouts where onlookers raved about him as one of the top players in Mobile.
