As apart of the Leonard Williams trade, the Jets decide to double-down on prospects from TCU, this one being a potential first-round talent.

Jeff Gladney is a press cover corner who plays an aggressive style of football. He has terrific ball skills and great route anticipation. With his ball-hawking ability, the Jets would be able to play Gladney on the inside and outside.

Gladney projects as someone who can come in and immediately compete to be a team’s No. 1 cornerback. There has been some buzz around his name as a first-round pick, so next week’s NFL Combine should help create a better picture of where Gladney will be projected to go come April.
