New York Jets 2018 secondary: Comparing against the NFL’s best units

Marcus Maye, Morris Claiborne, Trumaine Johnson and, of course, the president himself, strong safety Jamal Adams—a foursome in combination that strikes so much fear into opposing quarterback’s dreams that nightmares automatically occur.

The 2018 New York Jets defensive backfield may arguably represent the best unit in the NFL.

Forget the statistics. The only thing the statistics show is just how good the overall 11-man unit plays together. In 2017, the Jets finished 21st in the NFL in surrendering 234.3 passing yards per contest. This does not mean the secondary played poorly.
