Joe Douglas’ 2022 New York Jets draft class is the subject of immense praise. Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall are the headliners of the haul, but people often forget about the Jets’ third first-round pick in the class, Jermaine Johnson – whom they traded up to acquire.
While Gardner, Wilson, and Hall were instant stars for New York, Johnson began his career as a solid role player in 2022. He only played 34% of the defensive snaps across his 14 appearances, but he provided some timely playmaking on the edge, especially as a run defender.
