The Jets drafted one Auburn safety in Jamien Sherwood. Then they signed his teammate, Jordyn Peters, as an undrafted free agent.
Peters started at safety during his senior season at Auburn and recorded 42 tackles, four pass breakups, and one interception. For Peters’ entire college career, he had 101 total tackles, eight pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, two sacks, one forced fumble and one interception. Peters was also a key special teams player, as he had four career blocked punts and returned one for a touchdown.

For now, let’s take a look at four things to know about Peters.
