FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – As the players reported for training camp Tuesday morning, veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley made it abundantly clear that he and the Jets have undergone some positive changes, and their impact would be noticeable.
Mosley, who opted out last season over COVID-19 concerns, came in weighing 231 pounds, the lowest he’s been since he was a senior at Alabama. Mosley trimmed down because he’s playing in a new defense, and he wants to re-establish himself as one of the NFL’s top linebackers.
He was that when the Jets signed Mosley to a five-year, $85 million deal in 2019, having made four Pro Bowls in his first five NFL seasons.
