Back in 2017, the NY Jets drafted LSU safety Jamal Adams with the sixth overall pick. Six picks later, the Houston Texans traded up 13 spots for Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.
With Adams traded to Seattle followed by Sam Darnold‘s disheartening regression in 2020, one can’t help but wonder what life could have been like if the Jets had just drafted Watson sixth overall in 2017.
Well Jets fans, it just so happens that the star-crossed franchise you all know and love has stumbled across an opportunity to rewrite history.
