They also took BYU quarterback Zach Wilson with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft to begin a new era in New York. It wasnt a great season for the rebuilding Jets, as Wilson mi sed four games and struggled in his first year. He threw for 2,334 yards, along with nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions, but managed to end the final five games of the season without throwing a pick. The Jets finished 0-6 against divisional opponents for the second consecutive year.G Laken Tomlinson, CB D.J. Reed, TE C.J. Uzomah, TE Tyler Conklin, S Jordan Whitehead, K Greg ZuerleinLaken Tomlinson joins the Jets after his first career Pro Bowl season in San Francisco. CB DJ Reed and S Jordan Whitehead will provide veteran experience to a talented, but young Jets secondary. The Jets Mel Ott Jersey will look to tight ends C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin to give Zach Wilson more options as he looks to develop in his second season. Greg Pat Burrell Jersey Zuerlein, who converted 89 percent of his field goals last season in Dallas, replaces Matt Ammendola (68 percent) after one season in New York.S Marcus Maye, DT Foley Fatukasi, WR Jamison Crowder, RT Morgan MosesThe return of Lemarcus Joyner, who mi sed all but one game in 2021 (elbow), and development of Ashtyn Davis should help fill the void left by Marcus Maye. DE Carl Lawson also returns after mi sing all of last season (Achilles) and should be considered an upgrade for a defensive line that saw Foley Fatukasi depart for Jacksonville. Mekhi Becton and George Fant will try to replace Morgan Moses, who had a very nice year at right tackle for the Jets.CB Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner, WR Garrett Wilson, EDGE Jermaine Johnson, RB Breece Hall, TE Jeremy Ruckert, T Max Mitchell, DE Michael ClemonsThe Jets managed to add a lot of top-end talent to their young roster. Gardner, selected fourth overall, brings high upside to the Jets secondary. Garrett Wilson joins Elijah Moore to give Zach Wilson a dynamic pair of young receivers. Breece Hall and second-year running back Michael Carter should make for a imposing threat out of the backfield. A huge Senior Bowl showing catapulted Jermaine Johnsons stock. He brings freakish athletic ability and a high motor to the Jets pa s rush.While the Jets appear headed in a promising direction, they still field a young roster that needs to continue Willie Mays Jersey to develop. Their succe s will hinge primarily on the growth of Zach Wilson, who now has talented running backs and receivers to help take the pre sure off him in his sophomore season. Its important for New York to find a way to start winning divisional games, as the Bills and Patriots are coming off playoff seasons and the Dolphins appear ready to make that leap themselves.
