A pick that I’m sure would make Mekhi Becton happy, Louisville running back Javian Hawkins is an excellent match of player-to-scheme for the Jets. If selected by the team, Jets fans should be jumping for joy if he’s wearing the Green and White next season.
In 20 games as a starter throughout his three-year Louisville career, Hawkins ran for 2,347 yards and 16 touchdowns at 5.9 yards per carry. He had 1,525 yards over 13 games in 2019 (117.2 yards per game), and if his 7-game-season pace in 2020 (102.8 yards per game) was projected over a full 13 games, he would’ve finished with 1,335 yards.
