Linebacker David Harris says youthful Jets will 'surprise people' in 2017

NORTH CALDWELL, N.J. -- Now that Nick Mangold and Darrelle Revis are gone, David Harris is the longest-tenured member of the New York Jets. He has witnessed a lot of stuff in 10 seasons, but nothing quite like this: A young, rebuilding team, facing dreadfully low outside expectations.

Nevertheless, he likes the new vibe in the locker room -- he feels change was needed -- and he believes this team could pull a fast one on the critics who say the Jets are doomed to another disastrous season.

"They can say what they want," the respected linebacker said Monday at his charity golf outing.
