FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Robert Saleh has made quite an impression on Jets’ players in his first training camp as an NFL head coach.
Saleh is known for his passion and intensity on the sideline as the 49ers defensive coordinator. He was often shown pumping his fist and hugging his players when his defense made a big stop.
He hasn’t displayed that side publicly since becoming head coach of the Jets. But Saleh has said enough to them privately and in team meetings to inspire them.
"He’s what I would call a leader of men," Jets center Connor McGovern said after Monday’s practice.
