The New York Jets’ initial linebacker plan entering the 2021 season was to feature the newly-signed Jarrad Davis alongside the returning C.J. Mosley. With the linebacker position possessing such a high level of importance in the team’s 4-3 defense, the Jets wanted another experienced starter to play alongside Mosley while their younger ‘backers sat back and developed.
New York hoped its two linebackers could explode for big seasons under the tutelage of linebacker gurus Jeff Ulbrich and Robert Saleh, who have each developed many solid linebackers in the past.
As we enter December, Mosley is out there shining as planned, as his partner in crime.
