LAD_Brooklyn Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 PFF: Jets OLB Jordan Jenkins graded well as a rookie Despite being sidelined in the early parts of the season, Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins was one of the best rookies at his position in 2016. The third round pick out of Georgia received the second best grade of any rookie edge defender in 2016, ranking only behind third overall pick Joey Bosa, per ProFootballFocus. View image on Twitter Pro Football Focus ✔@PFF Top-graded rookie edge defenders Joey Bosa, @Chargers, 89.9 Jordan Jenkins, @NYJets, 73.7 No one else was above 65.0. While Bosa grades out at 89.9, Jenkins graded out at 73.7, with no other edge defenders grading above 65. Jenkins spent the first three weeks on the shelf with an ankle injury but rebounded for a productive rookie campaign. Along with fellow rookie linebacker Darron Lee, Jenkins will be a major part of the Jets youth movement in 2017 and looks to be a major piece of the defense moving forward.

Patriot Killa Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If Darron Lee and Jordan Jenkins develop well and Adams/Mayes follows suit as they should...we really could have something special at every level of the Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I watched Bosa play and I have hard time believing the difference between him and Jenkins is just 89 to 73, but I am sure there are a hundred variables that PFF takes into account that I can't see.

PFF once gave Aaron Rodgers a negative grade after a 300 yard 5 TD game. I have no idea what criteria they use to get their grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I thought he played well towards the end of the season. He was never expected to be a pass rushing wrecking ball. He is a calvin pace type. I think he'll be a good starter for us. Lee...lets hope for the best. At least he's a good tackler. But he needs to turn and find the ball in coverage, and start causing some fumbles and impact plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm glad that some of the guys we're drafting can play football. It's a welcome change of pace. Hope we can continue this trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Lee and Jenkins would make an excellent pair of Inside linebackers if and when the Jets can find his replacement on the outside . During his last year, Jenkins didn't play outside, but was mostly inside at Georgia . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeacon Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 He is our new version of Bryan Thomas. Always setting the edge, doing the dirty work and racking up 4-6 sacks a year. Not only do we need an OLB that can do that I will take that any time for a 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the dirty work, set the edge guy you described. It would be nice to find that guy who can consistently get to the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just to recap, article states "only rookie better than ours was the DROY and 3rd overall pick" so logically the thread is dedicated to bitching about that players skill set. Jordan Jenkins is gonna be awesome. If he get 7+ sacks this season chances our team is gonna end up with 6-7 wins instead of 3-4 wins. Assuming Williams and Mo also get 7+ sacks.

I think Lee has a chance to be really good. His biggest problem last year was in his head and lack of experience. I find it funny people call him the tiny LBer cause it obvious they don't even watch the games. The kid is not afraid to run into traffic and hit, he is lightning fast, and he can cover. His size has nothing to do with anything. Yeah he got beat but what ILB in NFL does not get beat covering these TE? Any who watching him play you can easily tell his issues are not physical. He is a freak physically. His issue is patience he needs to sit back and read the 9lay before knifing in, he gets caught out of position because he is not sure when to drop and by then it is too late, he just lacks experience. The kid is only 22 and he will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
