As the Jets prepare to report to training camp Wednesday, here are three important position battles to watch in camp:
Inside linebacker: Erin Henderson vs. Darron Lee
Henderson is the savvy veteran. Lee was drafted 20th overall by the Jets this year. Henderson is currently the starter next to middle linebacker David Harris, but that doesn't mean Lee can't challenge Henderson. Whoever wins the job must play better pass coverage, particularly against running backs, than Demario Davis did last year. Even if Lee doesn't start, he will be a valuable sub packages/third-down player for the Jets, because his lateral speed and athleticism will be assets in coverage.
