Bless Austin’s NFL career got off to a roaring start. As soon as he was activated off the PUP list, he stepped into the Jets’ starting lineup and made an instant impact at cornerback. His success was short-lived, though, as he ended the 2020 season in defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ doghouse and planted on the bench.

Despite his struggles to end the year, Austin remains an integral part of a cornerback room that lacks depth. New York needs all of its corners to contribute something this upcoming season to have any shot at returning to prominence. That means Austin is going to have to have a short memory figure things out early in the year.

If that doesn’t happen, he’ll find himself back on the sideline in the blink of an eye.
