Underrated and underutilized, but never would he underperform.
Bilal Powell has long been the model of professionalism and stability for a New York Jets organization that at times has lacked both qualities. A fan favorite since his early days with the franchise, Powell has had some sort of a presence with the team since he was first drafted back in 2011.
