Young New York Jets WRs Must Step Up in Jeremy Kerley’s Absence

Related Topics: New York Jets, Jeremy Kerley

This week, the NFL suspended New York Jets WR Jeremy Kerley for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. Kerley was first notified of the ban in late October, but he played in last Thursday’s contest against the Bills since the suspension was not formally put into effect until this week.

Kerley got off to a great start this season. He started the season 18-18 on targets/receptions, which was better than any receiver in the NFL. Overall for the season, Kerley has 22 receptions on 27 targets.

After spending his first five seasons with the New York Jets, Kerley left for San Francisco in 2016.
