Robert Saleh highlights 2 standouts from NY Jets’ preseason finale

The New York Jets performed well on Saturday night, and head coach Robert Saleh took notice of some specific players.

During his post-game media availability, Saleh spoke highly about edge rusher Takk McKinley and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III.

Regarding McKinley, Saleh said he has a “first-round pedigree” and that “it takes some time” for some players to break out at the NFL level.

“I’ve always said it; it just takes guys some time, sometimes for one reason or another. A lot of times, they have to find themselves, and I feel like he’s in a really good place right now, both physically and mentally.
