When the New York Jets selected defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft, it was initially met with mixed reviews. The majority of Jets fans probably had no idea who he was as he comes from a small school but has the skill-set to hopefully be a utility player for the Jets in the future.
It’s no secret that the pass rush of the Jets has been an area of opportunity for the past few seasons now. They can’t pressure the quarterback consistently and have been in the bottom of stats when it comes to sacks.
