General manager Mike Maccagnan had many questions to answer regarding some players future with the New York Jets after their horrible 5-11 season. He answered the call, releasing several veterans such as kicker Nick Folk and center Nick Mangold. One player who could be on the chopping block as well is safety Calvin Pryor.
Pryor, 24 years old, was selected by the Jets with the 18th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, coming out of Louisville. The 5’11ft, 207lbs safety played very well in 2015, participating in 13 games with a combined 69 tackles, six passes defended and two interceptions, but took a huge step back in 2016, as did the whole Jets secondary.
