After bouncing around the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Pennsylvania in 2012, Van Roten found a home with the Panthers in 2017.

He became a full-time starter at left guard in 2018 after spending his first season with Carolina as a backup and performed well. He continued in that role for the first 11 games of 2019 before a dislocated toe landed him on season-ending injured reserve.

If the Jets miss on Thuney, Van Roten would not be a bad Plan B option. He has the experience as a starter to give New York a reliable left guard to work with.
