The primary waves of free agency and the NFL Draft came and went. While the New York Jets ended up with one of the best/deepest defensive lines in the entire NFL, boasting names such as Quinnen Williams, Carl Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Sheldon Rankins, Foley Fatukasi, and Vinny Curry, there was still something missing.
We knew that the Jets would have a hard time finding a second stud defensive end to place opposite Lawson. They may look to do so in the 2022 offseason.
Regardless, they still had a question to answer on the defensive line: who is the player that can set the edge consistently as a rotational piece on run downs?
