Grueling Truth

● By Samuel Teets
The New York Jets haven’t made the playoffs since 2010, but new head coach Robert Saleh has a lot to build with in the 2021 NFL Draft. New York owns two first-round picks, including the second overall selection. Whether it’s Justin Fields or Zach Wilson, the Jets are getting a dynamic quarterback early on and retooling their young roster afterward. Saleh’s team already made strides this offseason, agreeing to reasonable contracts with free agents Keelan Cole, Corey Davis, and Carl Lawson. The new coaching staff also inherits some exciting young players like Mekhi Becton, Denzel Mims, and Quinnen Williams. However, the team still needs significant reinforcements in the offensive and defensive backfields.
