New York Jets draft Florida EDGE man Jabari Zuniga at No. 79

The New York Jets not only added to their SEC arsenal, but also bolstered their pass rush with the second of three third-round picks. With the 79th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jets took Florida edge man Jabari Zuniga.

The former Gator tallied 116 tackles and 18.5 sacks over four seasons. Zuniga originally planned to be a basketball player, just like his father Carlos. The elder Zuniga took to the hardwood at Tulane.

Zuniga instead moved over to football in his senior year of high school.
