Jets rookie power rankings: Bless Austin turns in 2nd straight standout performance

Jets Wire breaks down New York’s rookie class in the latest edition of the rookie power rankings series.

Bless Austin’s Week 10 performance against the Giants might not have been a fluke after all.

Austin had another solid performance in New York’s dominant win over the Redskins on Sunday. Washington’s passing attack sputtered throughout the afternoon, and Austin was a big reason why as he excelled in coverage all game.

There’s no doubt that Austin has been Gang Green’s best rookie performer for the past two weeks. What about New York’s other neophytes, though? Let’s take a look at where they stand in the latest edition of Jets Wire’s rookie power rankings.

No. 5: TE Trevon Wesco

Last Week: No. 4

One week after recording the first catch of his career, Wesco couldn’t keep the good times rolling against the Redskins.

The West Virginia product did not appear in the box score against Washington. Ryan Griffin served as New York’s dominant tight end with five catches for 109 yards and a touchdown.
