INDIANAPOLIS – Putting players around Sam Darnold will be one of the Jets’ “focuses and focal points” this offseason.
When Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said that Wednesday at the NFL Combine, he didn’t mean only the skill positions. Protecting Darnold will be as critical as adding playmakers, so upgrading and filling holes on the offensive line will be a priority for the Jets.
“Right now that’s a position that we’re going to look very strongly at in free agency,” Maccagnan said. “That’s no surprise I don’t think to anybody out there. I think there’s some good players in the draft, but it’s an area we’re going to look at going forward.
