Gregg Williams employed a lot of different fronts with a lot of different personnel in 2019 and that should continue in 2020. Franklin-Myers didn’t play last season while on injured reserve, but the Jets liked him enough to keep him a year after claiming the 23-year-old off waivers from the Rams. 

Franklin-Myers is a versatile defender with the ability to rush the passer – something the Jets need this season. If he doesn’t make the 53-man roster, he’d be one of the better options for that protected status.
