Jets OLB Jordan Jenkins leaning on maturity, experience in 2019

Heading into the 2019 offseason, fans and analysts alike pegged the outside linebacker spot as one of the biggest needs for the New York Jets.

After missing out on Anthony Barr in free agency, fans were even more concerned heading into the 2019 NFL draft. The Jets helped ease those fears by spending a third-round pick on Florida’s Jachai Polite, but there’s already one player in-house who could end up exceeding expectations.

Jordan Jenkins is ready to rise to the occasion and attack whatever role he’s given in the Jets’ new scheme under defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
