It would be a mistake to dismiss Bilal Powell in crowded Jets backfield

As the Jets get close to training camp, I am going to examine the roster and give you my top 25 players. Each weekday, we will reveal another person on the list, leading right into camp. I am not including rookies on this list because I do not feel it is possible to fully evaluate them before they play a game.

No. 25: Bilal Powell

Last year’s ranking: 11

Position: RB

Age on Opening Day: 30

How acquired: Selected in the fourth round of the 2011 Draft

Years left on contract: 1

2019 Salary Cap figure: $735,000

Looking back at 2018: Powell shared carries with Isaiah Crowell through the first seven games of the season before suffering a season-ending neck injury.
