NY Jets: Cornerback position suddenly looks very crowded

Previously a position of need, the NY Jets cornerback room has actually become a bit crowded.

Last season, it was quite clear that the NY Jets had many weaknesses on the roster, but one position that specifically stood out as a position that needed to be addressed in the offseason was cornerback.

At the start of the season, Trumaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts were locked in as the team’s starting cornerbacks on the outside, while the then newly signed Brian Poole manned the slot.

Ultimately, Poole turned out to be a bright spot on the team’s defense, as he played in 14 games and totaled 56 tackles and one interception.
