The New York Jets weren’t done adding to their defensive line during Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft. New general manager Darren Mougey made an aggressive move, trading back into the fifth round to select defensive end Tyler Baron out of Louisville with the 173rd overall pick.
Adding more juice to the defensive front has been a big part of the Jets’ identity, and Baron fits the mold perfectly — athletic, powerful, and disruptive off the edge.
Tyler Baron began his college career at Tennessee before transferring to Louisville for his final season.
