FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Shaq Lawson is excited to be playing for Robert Saleh. The Jets new edge rusher believes the passionate coach will bring out the best in him.
"I could tell the head coach likes dogs," Lawson said. "I feel like I meet what he wants."
The Jets acquired Lawson from Houston for a 2022 sixth-round pick they got from San Francisco. They needed someone to fill the void left when they lost Carl Lawson for the season with a ruptured Achilles.
