INDIANAPOLIS — Unlike a majority of his peers on Tuesday and Wednesday, who addressed reporters in person from a lectern set up at the Indiana Convention Center, Jets Coach Robert Saleh sat at the team’s facility at Florham Park, N.J., and answered questions about the team’s pre-draft plans via a video conference call.
Saleh and his coaching staff opted not to attend the first few days of the six-day N.F.L. combine, the most prominent player evaluation event on the league’s calendar, which started on Tuesday. Instead, Saleh said he would spend the time refining the team’s offensive and defensive schemes for next season and solidifying its free agency and draft plans before some of his assistant coaches arrive in Indianapolis later in the week for positional on-field workouts.
