In a surprising move, the New York Jets selected edge rusher Will McDonald IV with the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
McDonald stands at 6-foot-3 and 5/8 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds, with an impressive 34 7/8-inch arm length (90th percentile) and an 82 1/4-inch wingspan (80th percentile).
During the pre-draft process, McDonald showcased his athleticism with a 9.66 Relative Athletic Score (RAS). He demonstrated elite explosion (132-inch broad jump and 36-inch vertical jump) and agility scores (6.85 3-cone and 4.22 20-yard shuttle). McDonald is renowned for his explosiveness and ankle flexion, as evidenced by his remarkable 3-cone time.
