Why the New York Jets special teams unit is one of the best in football

The New York Jets‘ special teams have been elite the last two seasons. In 2018, the team had two All-Pros and finished first in special teams DVOA. The Jets then allowed kicker Jason Myers and returner Andre Roberts to leave in free agency.

Many fans didn’t believe it would be possible for the special teams unit to recover. Brant Boyer’s unit proved them wrong. They weren’t as good in 2019, but they were still elite, finishing fourth in DVOA.

Boyer will deal with less turnover in 2020. He’ll have a kicker battle and a new punter, but otherwise, the unit remains the same.
