New York Jets free agent position preview: Edge rusher

Jenkins was on his way to a very quiet 2020 season until he closed the year on an absolute rampage, which was stopped only by a season-ending shoulder injury. He missed the Jets’ final four games after playing in their first 12.

From Weeks 1-9, Jenkins collected just 15 pressures over 185 pass-rush snaps for an 8.1% pressure rate, below the 2020 positional average of 9.7%. He was tied for 56th among edge rushers in pressures when the Jets entered their Week 10 bye.

Coming out of the bye week, Jenkins was a different player. Over three games from Weeks 11-13, Jenkins picked up 16 pressures over 116 pass-rush snaps for an excellent pressure rate of 13.
