Jets Trying To Find The Right Guy For The Right Guard Spot

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The big men up front are in a huge competition for the New York Jets.

The hot spot is at right guard, specifically. And, a week into training camp, there are several players vying for the starting job in front of — and a bit to the right — of quarterback Geno Smith.

Willie Colon is the incumbent, a 32-year-old veteran entering his 10th NFL season. After opening training camp on the active-physically unable to perform list with a knee issue, he’s back and getting snaps with the starting offense.
