FLORHAM PARK -- The Jets have received precious little production from their outside linebackers in recent seasons, despite getting younger at the position.
In 2015, the Jets drafted Lorenzo Mauldin in Round 3. Last year, they drafted Jordan Jenkins in Round 3.
But both were fairly low-impact players for the Jets in 2016, when both had 2.5 sacks. Jenkins, who played in 14 games, forced one fumble. Mauldin, who played in 11 games, had one interception.
Mauldin has been such a disappointment that the Jets have played defensive end Sheldon Richardson a bunch at outside linebacker.
