FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Sheldon Rankins believes as the Jets defensive players become more comfortable in the system, they will be able to unleash their "superpowers" and become more dominant.
Rankins, the veteran defensive tackle, likened his superpowers to Batman.
"When I’m the vet in the room, I feel like I’m walking around, looks like he’s not moving real fast," Rankins said after practice on Wednesday. "But the moment I put the pads on, I’m twitched up, I’m powerful, I’m explosive, I got all the moves. It’s kind of like Batman. He’s Bruce Wayne, until he puts the suit on.
