Tyron Smith already having big impact on Jets’ revamped O-line

Tyron Smith already has made an impression in his short time with the Jets.

The eight-time Pro Bowl tackle looks the part, at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds.

He also has impressed his new coaches and teammates on the practice field, in the locker room and in the weight room.

“It’s amazing, not to blow smoke up anyone’s butt or anything, but I was going through the weight room and I saw him repping out over 400 pounds on the bench like it was one of my 135 reps,” coach Robert Saleh said. “He’s an impressive man. He’s an impressive personality, and he’s definitely awesome to have.

“As a coach, you always want guys that you want to protect them from them. It’s easier to say whoa than giddy up. He’s definitely one of those guys who I’m recognizing that we’re going to have to pull back.”

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has watched Smith in the locker room this spring as he mentors young players like first-round pick Olu Fashanu.
