By all means, the 2021 season has been a positive one for the future of the New York Jets‘ cornerback position. The cornerback group entered the season with a good chance to be one of the worst in the NFL based on its severe inexperience. Instead, it has been a decent unit, and arguably the most consistent one on the Jets’ defense.
For a unit that features a starting trio of corners who combined for seven career starts entering 2021 (all from Bryce Hall, as Brandin Echols and Michael Carter II were rookie starters), their “decent” level of play this season is a very promising foundation for the future.
