Breaking down new Jets offensive lineman Tom Compton

The New York Jets went into the offseason with the goal in mind of improving their lackluster offensive line. While they have done just that so far to varied degrees of success, it’s clear that they are still looking to add to the positional unit.

It has been reported and officially announced on the Jets Twitter account that the team has signed offensive lineman Tom Compton to a contract for the 2019 season. Compton is a versatile veteran who has played for four different teams throughout his seven-year career.

Originally entering the league as a sixth-round pick in 2012, Compton spent the first four years of his career with the Washington Redskins.
