With the 175th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets chose Pittsburgh cornerback Jason Pinnock, their third consecutive defensive selection.
New York obtained the pick through a trade with the defending conference champion Kansas City Chiefs that also earned them the 207th selection (while sending over the 162nd and 226th picks).
Pinnock played four seasons at Pitt, earning 54 tackles, 19 pass breakups, and six interceptions. The Windsor, CT native stands at 6’0 and weighs in at 205. Scouting reports say he needs work in man coverage but his athleticism and physicality should help him find a role.
