New York Jets make unprecedented defensive line moves

The New York Jets have loaded up on defensive line depth — in an unprecedented way.

According to Connor Hughes of SNY, undrafted free agents Leonard Taylor III, Braiden McGregor, and Eric Watts all made the team’s initial 53-man roster. Hughes also added that veteran edge rusher Takk McKinley made it, presumably bringing the Jets to 11 defensive linemen.

Can't remember last time you could say this about a team: Per sources, the #Jets are keeping 3 UDFA defensive linemen on their initial 53.
