Who knows where this Jets season will go from here. But one thing is clear: The future is very bright.
Case in point: ESPN has ranked the NFL’s top 25 players under 25. The Jets have two young stars on the list — defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner. And a third, offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker, made the honorable mention.
Even better: The Bills and Patriots, the Jets’ AFC East rivals, had no players make either the ranking or honorable mention. The Dolphins did join the Jets with two players ranked (Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle) and one honorable mention nod (Jevon Holland).
