WRs Hammond, Harper, Whitehead, Wilson: Who Makes the Team

[Sarge4Tide]

Four "journeymen" wide receivers have impressed in the early going of Jets camp: Chris Harper, Frankie Hammond, Marquess Wilson, and Lucky Whitehead.

It's still early, but which one of the 4 has the BEST shot at making the 2017 Jets active roster?

I'm going with none of them make the team.

Enunwa, Anderson, Peake, Marshall, Stewart, Hansen.

Peake is the guy who has to be a bit nervous right now

I'd say Whitehead because of his return ability. Takes either Peake or Marshalls spot.

Of those 6, I'd agree.  Though if I'm not mistaken, It sounds like he's doing decently well out there this camp.  I guess the guy to watch is Chris Harper, apparently he's been balling. If you keep a Hammond Jr. or a Whitehead, you're saving a spot for a sole kick returner and nothing else.  I feel like they'd rather go with Jalin Marshall in that spot since he can actually go play WR too.  Although, he is suspended for a few games, right?  So maybe one of these guys does make the initial roster holding a spot warm for Marshall.

This.

Jalin Marshall showed a lot of upside last year. Sure, he made some mistakes - who on that team didn't? I don't think you give up on a guy after a handful of mistakes, you just knock him down a notch and coach him back up at the proper pace. Potential is potential.

Exactly my thoughts. First of all, Marshall should be out of the equation b/c of the suspension. The Jets will bring 6 WRs onto the roster and then when Marshall's suspension is done they will make a decision on who should go, if anyone. 

As far as the vets, seems to me guys like Whitehead and Hammond have a shot b/c of their return skills. But honestly, I don't have any of them making the roster. One of them would have to shine as a returner and show that they can step in as a receiver if need be. I doubt that will happen. 

The one thing they have going for them is that they (unlike some of the young WRs trying to make the roster) are not PS eligible. I think that will factor into the decision making.

These are my 6 to make the initial roster:

Enunwa, Anderson, Stewart, Hansen, Peake, G.Marks, (Marshall-suspended). 

But as I said, the Jets may be looking at Marks as a PS player. And of course, there's always the chance that an injury will change things. 

Out of the vets, Whitehead has the best chance b/c he is not only capable of returning (although statistically, he was not great on the Cowboys as a returner last year) but he has experience with gadget plays on offense.

Question.  I know Jalin Marshall and ASJ are both suspended for the start of the season, but is Robbie Anderson also facing a suspension  ?

Nope. Not until his case is resolved. So probably not until next season.
