With the 79th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select… Jabari Zuniga, EDGE, Florida. The Jets needed to address pass rushing in the draft. They currently have Tarell Basham starting at outside linebacker and that couldn’t stand.
Zuniga will likely compete with Basham for a starting role, though that might not be warranted. The Florida product is a phenomenal athlete, but injuries and a lack of production in college are a concern.
He has a long way to go before he’s a starting-caliber player in the NFL.
