Third Round (via NYG): Bradlee Anae | EDGE | Utah

As apart of the Leonard Williams trade, the Jets own the Giants’ third-round pick in this year’s draft.

In Bradlee Anae, the Jets are taking a gamble on an edge rusher who can complement the interior defensive line. Anae is tough and plays with a relentless motor in both the run and pass game.

In 2019 for the Utes, Anae was a consensus All-American. He was selected as the Pac-12 2019 Morris Trophy winner, which is awarded annually to the best offensive and defensive linemen in the conference, as selected by opposing players. In his senior season, Anae had 35 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

From 2017-19, Anae led Utah in sacks. His 29.5 career sacks are tied for the Utah school record and ranks fourth among active FBS players. He is fourth all-time in school history and 10th among active FBS players in total TFLs with 41.
