The Jets have gone so long without a dominant edge pass rusher that sometimes it feels like Mark Gastineau was the last one they had.
In reality, it has not been that long, but it has not been that short of a time either. John Abraham, who last played for the Jets in 2005, is the last dominant Jets player to come off the edge and terrorize quarterbacks.
It has been a need they have been trying to fill ever since, and they have failed to do so. This year, it is the top priority.
The Jets found a quarterback they feel can be their signal caller for the next decade in Sam Darnold.
