As the New York Jets search for a third linebacker to place beside C.J. Mosley and Jarrad Davis in their 4-3 defense, it’s clear what they will be looking for: an athletic, agile player who primarily excels in coverage.
Looking at prospects who could be available to Jets beyond the first round of the draft, Kentucky’s Jamin Davis stands out as a phenomenal fit for what the Jets need.
Widely projected to be a second-round pick, Davis comes into the league following his redshirt junior season. Davis barely played over his first two seasons, but was promoted to a starting role in 2020 as he started all 10 games that he appeared in (missing one game due to COVID-19 protocols).
