Jets lead NFL in dubious category, and it must change

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Eight is enough: This offseason has produced a contrasting mix of emotions: cheers and groans. The Jets have given their long-suffering fans something to get excited about -- hello, Sam Darnold -- but they've also tempered the feel-good vibe with a spate of player arrests.

Continuing an alarming trend that began in 2017, the Jets' arrest total in the past 18 months is up to eight -- the most in the NFL, according to USA Today data. The two most recent players arrested -- rookie tight end Chris Herndon and linebacker Dylan Donahue -- were involved in alleged drunken driving that resulted in crashes with other vehicles.
