Stunning Prediction Sees Jets Bring in ‘Unique’ ‘Future All-Pro Talent’

The New York Jets could raise some eyebrows in the 2025 NFL draft.

NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein predicted that the Jets would do just that by selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 7 overall pick in the first round of his mock draft.

“The analytics community won’t like this pick, but so be it. The Jets have a stagnant offense and Breece Hall has not reached 1,000 yards rushing in any of his three seasons. Jeanty provides instant adrenaline to the offense and creates buzz in Aaron Glenn’s first season as head coach,” Zierlein explained.

Zierlein called Jeanty a “unique talent” who “has future All-Pro talent” in his writeup ahead of the NFL combine.

Jeanty was a Heisman finalist this year after his record-breaking season for Boise State. He finished with 2,601 rushing yards, 29 rushing touchdowns, and he averaged seven yards per rushing attempt.

A Potential Jets RB Draft Decision Would Be Historic
1990.

That was the last time the Jets invested a first-round draft choice at the running back position. It didn’t work out well.

Penn State’s Blair Thomas ended up being the No. 2 overall pick in that draft and only lasted four years in New York.

The Jets already have a really talented young back in Breece Hall. However, he is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025. The former Iowa State product is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

This offseason Hall is eligible to discuss a contract extension with the team. They have a new regime making decisions with head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.

Do you give Hall a raise and pay him a premium contract? Or do you let his deal play out and let him walk at the end? Or do you consider flipping him to a team this offseason and explore alternative options?

Jets Have Considered Doing This Before
The green and white selected Hall with the No. 36 overall pick in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Hall showed plenty of flashes in his rookie season, but tore his ACL seven games in and missed the rest of the year.

That next offseason the Jets considered making a monumental move in the draft.

NFL draft analyst Dane Brugler revealed on social media in late April of 2023 that the Jets “had their eye” on running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 15 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, but the Detroit Lions beat them to the punch.

“Jahmyr Gibbs going 12th. Surprised he landed in Detroit, but I LOVE the player and what his impact could be in that scheme. If Gibbs didn’t go 12, the Jets had their eye on him at 15. He was going top-20. Special offensive weapon,” Brugler said on social media.

If Gibbs didn’t go 12, the Jets had their eye on him at 15. He was going top-20. Special offensive weapon.

The day after the Lions took Gibbs in the first round, I had Jets senior reporter Eric Allen on my show. He told me that it would have been “very interesting” if Bijan Robinson or Gibbs would have still been on the board for the Jets at pick No. 15

Fascinating #NFLDraft nugget 🧐 I just had #Jets senior Reporter @eallenjets on my radio show & he said if Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs was on the board at No. 15 it would’ve been ‘very interesting’ for the Jets 👀 #TakeFlight

There was a lot of smoke out there that the Jets were highly coveting Gibbs in that draft.

If the Jets were willing to take a RB in the first round a year after taking Hall – why wouldn’t they consider doing the same thing a few years later?

Now the front office that considered taking Gibbs is no longer employed at 1 Jets Drive, but it makes you think.

Especially considering the Jets’ current head coach Aaron Glenn just came from Detroit where he got to see Gibbs’ impact up close and personal.

BREAKING: Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers Reveals shocker on his next move following….

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers stunned his team and fans alike with a shocking announcement. In a recent interview, Rodgers explained his decision to step back from the game, leaving many puzzled and searching for answers. Known for his leadership and resilience, Rodgers’ unexpected revelation sent ripples through the Jets organization and the NFL world.

The star quarterback, who joined the Jets after a high-profile trade from the Green Bay Packers, had been expected to lead the team to a new era of success. However, Rodgers’ sudden decision to potentially step away from football raised questions about his future with the franchise. Many were left wondering whether his commitment to the game had waned or if there were other factors at play.

In his interview, Rodgers shared that his decision was rooted in personal reflection and a desire for growth. He explained that after years of playing at the highest level, he had reached a point where he needed to reassess his priorities and think about his life outside of football. “I’ve been through a lot, and sometimes you need to step back to truly understand what matters most,” Rodgers said.

Though Rodgers didn’t completely rule out returning to the field, he expressed a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunities he had in the NFL. “I’ve accomplished so much, and now it’s time to focus on other things,” he continued, emphasizing that the future remains uncertain, but he is at peace with his decision.

His announcement came as a surprise to many, but it also showcased the quarterback’s self-awareness and maturity. Whether or not he returns to the field, Aaron Rodgers’ journey will continue to be one of intrigue and inspiration for both fans and athletes alike.

Jets Predicted to Add Star 6-Foot-6 OL Who Can ‘Dominate’

LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell reacting after a college football game.
Regardless of who is playing quarterback for the New York Jets in 2025, they will need some protection.

NFL draft analyst Bucky Brooks helped add some more in his latest mock draft for the NFL Media Group. With the No. 7 overall pick, he predicted that the green and white would select LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell.

“Building up the trenches is a part of the Jets’ plan to compete with the AFC’s heavyweights. Campbell is a rock-solid offensive tackle prospect with the size, strength, and skill to dominate on the edges from Day 1,” Brooks wrote.

Campbell was the first OL off the board in Brooks’ simulation. The massive LSU hog molly is listed at 6-foot-6 and tips the scales at 323 pounds, per the LSU athletics website.

Campbell Could Be the Final Piece to the Jets O-Line Puzzle

The Jets’ offensive line is actually considered a strength for once heading into the offseason. Four of the five starters are under contract.

Olu Fashanu at left tackle, John Simpson at left guard, Joe Tippmann at center, and you have Alijah Vera-Tucker at right guard. The only question mark is who will be playing right tackle in 2025.

Morgan Moses was the starter for the majority of the year but he is scheduled to hit the open market of free agency in March.

Moses has expressed a desire to return, but a new regime is in charge with Aaron Glenn at head coach and Darren Mougey at general manager.

The Jets would provide themselves a lot more flexibility heading into the draft if they brought Moses back. For example, last season the Jets signed Tyron Smith in free agency to play left tackle. That provided the team flexibility on draft day to go with the best player available, which happened to be Fashanu.

This provided the Jets with the luxury to slowly develop Fashanu instead of just throwing him into the fire from day one. The Jets could employ the same strategy with Campbell by re-signing Moses.

Jets Would Be Adding Elite Player to the Trenches

NFL draft analyst Russell Brown of Fantasy Pros and Betting Pros also mocked Campbell to the Jets on “Boy Green Daily.”

“I know I said I haven’t graded everybody out [from this draft class], but Will Campbell is going to be one of the two or three best players on my board without question. This would be the player that I would select. I think he is a safe pick,” Brown explained to me. “I don’t know who the quarterback is going to be but if I’m them, I’m taking Will Campbell and that would be the guy. He is so consistent.

His stance is kind of sloppy – he looks like he just crawled out of bed but he is just so consistent with his post foot, his set foot, and he is able to create some separation there and keep guys at bay and keep them away from the quarterback. I love the way he strikes, I love the way he can climb, I think he can move in space. It’s a boring pick but we are talking about protecting your franchise.”

The Jets haven’t used a first-round pick in back-to-back years on an offensive lineman since 2020-2021. Gang Green took Mekhi Becton and Alijah Vera-Tucker in consecutive drafts.

In 2006 the Jets used both of their first-round draft choices that year on offensive linemen with Nick Mangold and D’Brickashaw Ferguson.

Dolphins Urged to ‘Swing’ for Projected $36 Million Defensive Lineman

CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani argued the Miami Dolphins should target Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Milton Williams in NFL free agency.

Miami Dolphins insiders have argued this offseason that the team must find a way to get more physical. One of the best ways to do that, particularly on defense, is to add a defensive lineman such as Milton Williams to the roster.

On January 30, CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani identified Williams as the one player the Dolphins “should prioritize signing” during 2025 NFL free agency.

“The Dolphins have several pending free agents on the defensive line such as Calais Campbell and Benito Jones,” Dajani wrote. “Upgrading on the defensive interior is something Anthony Weaver will fight for, and Miami could swing for the former Eagle that recorded a career-high five sacks and 10 QB hits in 2024.”

A third-round pick for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021, Williams is coming off a breakout fourth season. In 2024, he registered 24 combined tackles, including seven tackles for loss, along with career highs of five sacks and 10 quarterback hits.

Williams also played a career-high 501 defensive snaps during the 2024 regular season.

Spotrac projected Williams to be worth about $36 million on a three-year contract this offseason.

How Milton Williams Could Fit With the Dolphins

On January 30, The Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad didn’t list defensive tackle among Miami’s top three needs this offseason. But Schad expressed that the Dolphins overall goal this spring and summer should be to add physicality to the roster to complement their speed.

It would help if the Dolphins could also address their pass rush. Miami finished the 2024 season ranked 27th with 35 sacks.

Adding Williams would certainly satisfy the latter need. While his sack total didn’t skyrocket, Williams took a huge step forward as a pass rusher in 2024 according to the Pro Football Focus player rankings.

In 2023, Williams earned a PFF pass rushing grade of 62. That grade jumped to 91 for the 2024 campaign.

The only defensive lineman in the NFL with a better PFF pass rushing grade this past season was Kansas City Chiefs’ Chris Jones.

Granted, Williams struggled in run defense and tackling according to PFF. But he fared much better in those categories at the analytical website during the past two seasons.

The Dolphins could sign Williams, hoping he continues to pass rush at an elite level while getting back to his 2022 and 2023 levels in run defense and tackling.

CONFIRMED: New York Jets Steal Former Top-5 Pick From Steelers in Surprise Move

The New York Jets have poached a talented coach away from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport shared on social media that the Jets are hiring inside linebackers coach Aaron Curry to be their new linebackers coach.

The #Jets are hiring #Steelers ILBs coach Aaron Curry as their new LBs coach, source says.

The former No. 4 overall selection has worked his way up in coaching and now takes a key role on the staff of HC Aaron Glenn and DC Steve Wilks.

curry had spent the previous two seasons with the Steelers in that role.

Jets Add Another Promising Young Coach to the Staff

Curry, 38, entered the NFL back in 2009 as the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft.

He lasted in the league for four seasons before he decided to hang up his cleats. Curry appeared in 48 games and made 39 starts.

During that period, he racked up 5.5 sacks, 203 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 19 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, and 12 pass deflections.

After retiring from football in 2013, Curry immediately got into coaching. He spent six seasons at the college football level for Charlotte. Curry started as a strength and conditioning intern, became a graduate assistant, and then coached up the defensive line.

In 2019 he returned to the NFL and his old team the Seattle Seahawks as a coaching assistant and a defensive assistant. Most recently he has been with the Steelers as an inside linebackers coach.

“Aaron Curry received rave reviews in Pittsburgh and is seen as a coach on the rise,” The Jet Press wrote on X previously Twitter.

In other coaching news, the Jets have finally secured their next offensive coordinator.

“Sources: The #Jets are hiring #Lions passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand as their new offensive coordinator. Engstrand, who has been with Detroit since 2020, will now take charge of the Jets’ offense under head coach Aaron Glenn,” NFL Insider Jordan Schultz shared.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini confirmed the news.

“He comes from the highest-scoring offense in the NFL, and Glenn has familiarity with him. The potential risk is that he’s never called plays on the NFL level. Another rookie OC,” Cimini said.

The good news for the Jets is that Engstrand has worked with some big names during his coaching career. However, the troubling or uncertain news is that he hasn’t called plays at the NFL level.
