Trumaine Johnson was asked Friday about the belief that the Jets’ cornerbacks group is a weakness.
“That’s my first time hearing it,” Johnson said. “I don’t consider myself or my group weak. We’re playmakers out there on the field, and we’re going to make a lot of plays this year.”
It is no secret the Jets are thin at the position. Besides Johnson, they do not have much experience at cornerback. The Jets are going to need inexperienced corners to make strides, and they need Johnson to play up to the reputation that got him a five-year, $72.
