The New York Jets are off to a 3-2 start, and much of the credit is going to the franchise’s young core. That praise is well-deserved. First and second-year players like Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Zach Wilson are already establishing themselves as leaders on the team.
However, the role of the Jets’ veterans in this solid start should not go overlooked. In particular, two veteran players are in the midst of bounce-back campaigns: Corey Davis and Sheldon Rankins.
Davis and Rankins joined the Jets as free agents in 2021. Unfortunately, neither player had the season they were hoping for in their debut season with New York.
