Jets' Todd Bowles raves about Willie Colon while naming him starter. But can he eliminate penalties?

FLORHAM PARK — To nobody's surprise, Jets coach Todd Bowles on Tuesday officially named Willie Colon his starting right guard.

Colon got the vast majority of the first-team right guard reps in training camp. In the Jets' first three preseason games, nobody else even got a single snap as the starting right guard.

So Colon, a 32-year-old entering his 10th NFL season, will be the Jets' Week 1 starting right guard for the third straight season.
