Nathan Shepherd

The Shepherd experience hasn’t worked out so well after the Jets drafted the Divison II defensive lineman in the third round of the 2018 draft. He played in 31 percent of snaps his rookie season and in only 21 percent in 2019. 

The Jets don’t need him given the bevy of linemen on the roster, but Shepherd showed his ability at times in 2019. He’ll need to go above and behind this year, though, to make an impact on the defense and stick around.
