Jets believe rookie trio will help make offense more physical
NY Post
The Jets felt that they did not just add good players in this spring’s NFL Draft, but they also added a certain style of player.
They wanted to get more physical players on the roster.
They felt they accomplished that with the selections of wide receiver Malachi Corley in the third round and running backs Braelon Allen in the fourth round and Isaiah Davis in the fifth round.
On Saturday, the Jets will get to truly see that physicality for the first time when they face the Commanders in their preseason opener at MetLife Stadium.
