Going into the 2021 offseason, New York Jets fans were understandably focused on positions such as edge rusher, cornerback, quarterback, linebacker, and much more.
Following free agency and the 2021 NFL draft, a need still remained that not many fans thought of – a fourth safety behind Marcus Maye, Lamarcus Joyner, and Ashtyn Davis. This role was previous filled by Matthias Farley who signed with the Tennessee Titans.
While the fourth-string safety isn’t the most pressing need on any team, it’s a role the Jets needed to fill, nonetheless.
