New York Jets will sorely miss Folorunso Fatukasi’s run-stuffing prowess (Film)

Stopping the run is the only thing the Jets can be considered good at. They rank 12th in fewest rushing yards per game allowed (112.8), eighth in rush defense DVOA (-19.3%), fourth in fewest rushing yards per attempt allowed (3.9), and fourth in estimated points added from rushing defense (+26.1).

One of the primary driving forces behind the Jets’ lone strength has been Foley Fatukasi, the third-year defensive tackle from Rockaway Park, Queens, by way of the University of Connecticut.

Fatukasi currently sports a run defense grade of 89.9 at Pro Football Focus, best in the league among all interior defensive linemen.
