Top 5 Jets Undrafted free agents


5. DL Mike DeVito, 2007

DeVito was with the Jets for six years, although he only started one game in his first three seasons. Over the last three, he developed into one of the best run stuffers in the NFL, starting 40 games, including three in the postseason. DeVito only had 3.5 sacks with the Jets - including 1 in the playoffs - but 1 of those sacks forced a fumble that Muhammad Wilkerson returned for a touchdown in Seattle.

 

4. WR Robby Anderson, 2016

Anderson averaged 52 catches for 764 yards and 4 touchdowns in his 4 seasons as a Jet. Statistically, 2017 was his best year with career-bests of 63 catches, 941 yards and seven touchdowns. He eclipsed 1,000 yards his first year in Carolina but only scored 3 TDs. Drop rate increased from 2% to 6.4%

 

3. NT Damon Harrison, 2012

"Snacks" barely played in his rookie season after having had a mountain to climb just to make the roster. Over the next three seasons, he started every game and was arguably the best run defender in the NFL. He's since been an All-Pro with the Giants and had a career high 3.5 sacks with the Lions.

 

2. G Brandon Moore, 2002

Moore is the only player on this list to go to a Pro Bowl as a Jet, which he achieved in 2011. "Meat" saw time in NFL Europe and the Arena League before making the roster in his second season and becoming a starter in year three. In his last eight seasons, Moore started all 128 games.

 

1. WR Wayne Chrebet, 1995

Chrebet is the ultimate underdog story, having started off as a bright spot on some poor teams before becoming a clutch performer for 4 playoff teams. He remains 2nd in team history for receptions and 3rd for receiving yards and touchdown catches. The Jets put Chrebet into the Ring of Honor in 2014.

The Evolution of Edwin Diaz

One of the most infamous trades in Mets history took place on December 3, 2018 when they traded OF Jay Bruce, RP Anthony Swarzak, and three of their top prospects to Seattle for two players: 36 year old 2B Robinson Cano and young stud closer Edwin Diaz. This trade has been dissected endlessly by the baseball media and Mets fans. As soon as the trade was finalized, it was distressing to learn the Mets were taking on the remainder of Robinson Cano's contract, which was 5 years and $120 million. So, the hope was Diaz would emerge as a great closer. Not a good one, but an elite closer. And that's what he had been in his years as a Mariner. Here are some of Diaz' stats from 2016-2018. 3 years in Seattle 2.64 ERA 14.2 K/9 109 saves 12 blown saves 90 save percentage And his first season, 2019, was one of the most disappointing in team history. Let's look at those numbers. 2019 58 innings 26 saves 7 blown saves 78 save percentage 58 hits 15 home runs 36 earned runs 5.59 ERA 22 ...

Jets-Comparing Our Mock Drafts to the 2022 NFL Draft

 Well, the 2022 NFL draft is officially in the books. As Jets fans, we had been waiting on this draft for four months, even before the 2021 season had come to an end. We knew the Jets were going to enter the draft with a plethora of holes and many premium picks to fill those holes. And on the GreenBean channel, we did 15 mock drafts over 4+ months to project what we would do if we were in Joe Douglas' shoes and were in charge of the draft. So let's take a look at what our tendencies and favorite players were, then figure out what our ideal mock draft would have looked like, and then compare that to what the Jets actually ended up doing on that late April weekend. Who did we pick the most? Our top first round selections were edge Jermaine Johnson and C Tyler Linderbaum, who were taken 4 times. There were three players we selected in the first round 3 times: Sauce Gardner, Evan Neal, Kyle Hamilton, and George Karlaftis. By far, tight end Trey McBride was the apple of the collecti...
