One year ago, the New York Jets selected Will McDonald with the 15th overall pick. He proceeded to only play 19% of snaps in his first year.
Bryce Huff’s exit seemed to pave the way for McDonald to see more snaps in his second season. But now that the Jets have replaced Huff with Haason Reddick – who plays even more snaps than Huff – McDonald could find himself in a limited role once again.
That shouldn’t affect Jets fans’ optimism about McDonald’s ability to contribute both in 2024 and in the future.
