What a difference a year makes.
Last year, Gang Green selected three impactful players — Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson — in the first round of the NFL Draft. The Jets also selected dynamic running back Breece Hall in the second round and he looked to be the favorite to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year before tearing his ACL in October.
A year later, a cloud continues to surround the Jets. More than a month after Aaron Rodgers announced his intentions to play for the Jets on “The Pat McAfee Show,” there continues to be a standoff between the Jets and the Packers on trade compensation leading up to the draft.
