New York Jets offensive guard Xavier Newman has showcased terrific versatility throughout his tenure so far. Newman has played both center and guard positions on the fly, offering a banged-up offensive line a solution when they needed it most. Newman arrived in East Rutherford with a sense of familiarity, which allowed the former Baylor standout to hit the ground running despite new surroundings.
Newman recently spoke to Justin Melissa exclusively for Jets Wire. Newman discussed his relationship with a coaching staff that includes his former position coaches Keith Carter and Todd Downing, how veterans like Duane Brown helped him acclimate, and more. Newman also discussed how Aaron Rodgers’ presence continues to have a positive impact on the locker room.
Editor’s note: This interview took place before Newman’s release Saturday.
