Trio of Second-Year Corners Ready to Battle for Roster Spots

By Harrison Glaser

For the first time since Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie locked down the Jets secondary from 2010-2012, the New York Jets have a true #1 cornerback in Trumaine Johnson and a #2 that has played fairly well as a #1 in Morris Claiborne. As was the case with Revis and Cromartie, this tandem could be something to get excited about.

However, beyond those top 2, the depth chart is pretty wide open. Contrary to popular opinion, Buster Skrine played well for the most part last season, but had a rough couple of seasons before that, and let’s not forget he is one of the most penalized cornerbacks in the league.
