Loser: Bless Austin
With the Jets’ roster structure prior to the draft, it looked like Bless Austin had a chance of starting on the opposite side of Pierre Desir. That changed this weekend when the Jets added two corners in Bryce Hall and Quincy Wilson.
The main objective for Hall is health. If the Virginia product can return to form after a devastating ankle injury, he has a real shot of becoming a starter at the next level. On the other hand, Wilson was granted a change of scenery from a zone scheme, which he struggled mightily during the 2019 campaign in Indy. He’ll get back to playing a press-man scheme under Gregg Williams, in which he thrived during the first two seasons of his career.
Austin was a nice story last season, but the chips are stacked against him yet again.
