Carl Lawson had about 45 million reasons to sign with the Jets, but he said one of the biggest was the opportunity to play for Robert Saleh.
The Jets' new edge rusher did his own background work on the Jets' new coach. Lawson knew about Saleh, but he also watched YouTube videos of past interviews that Saleh did, and wanted to play for him.
"I just came away like how impressive he was, the message that he was preaching and even in the video I felt like he was talking to me," Lawson said during a Zoom call Thursday.
