Mike Maccagnan may or may not believe in lucky charms, but it appears the rookie GM is hoping that speedy wide receiver Devin Smith from “the horse shoe” at Ohio State will become the long-term threat to defenses the Jets have lacked for decades.
With so much emphasis placed on the Jets’ poor track record at the quarterback position, their multiple failed attempts at drafting a game-changing receiver is often overlooked.
Over the course of the past 25 seasons, Jets receivers have posted 1,000 yards with double-digit touchdowns on just two occasions. In 1998 when Keyshawn Johnson put up 1,131 yards and 10 scores, and the other being Santana Moss who posted 1,105 yards and 10 TD’s of his own in 2003.
