Carl Lawson‘s much-anticipated return from his year-long absence due to an Achilles injury is not going quite as planned.
The New York Jets‘ big-money edge rusher was supposed to bring pass rush juice that the franchise has not seen in well over a decade. While Lawson has not been “bad”, per se, he certainly isn’t popping off the screen on gamedays like fans hoped. His quiet start is one of the primary reasons – if not the primary reason – the Jets’ vaunted pass rush is not living up to expectations.
