The cornerback position has been the most maligned unit on the New York Jets‘ roster throughout the offseason. Featuring no players selected earlier than the fifth round of the NFL draft and no players with more than 16 career starts, it is a group that severely lacks experience.
Surprisingly, the Jets’ cornerback group did not look like the worst position on the field during the preseason. New York’s corners certainly weren’t great, as a few players struggled, but there were quite a few standouts who provided hope of a bright future at the position.
Jets fans can feel a little bit more comfortable about their team’s cornerback group knowing that some of its young prospects have showcased intriguing potential.
