The New York Jets are Team Poker Face. Their leaders, coach Todd Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan, don't reveal public emotion, especially Maccagnan, whose keel always stays even. But late Monday night, as he followed players into the victorious locker room, the GM revealed a small smile -- at least it appeared that way.
And with good reason.
In an occupation that has more rises and dips than a Six Flags roller coaster, Maccagnan enjoyed the kind of night that every football architect dreams about. His four first-round draft picks, along with the big names in the Jets' 2018 free-agent class, made significant contributions in the Jets' 48-17 win over the Detroit Lions.
