Despite the offseason restrictions, the Jets’ minicamp will be the next opportunity for teammates and coaches, reporters and fans to get the next glimpse of the returning vets as well as the new players the Jets have brought in through free agency and the draft.<\/p>\n
No. 1 on many observers’ lists will be QB Justin Fields and the progress he’s been making running the offense.<\/p>\n
“He has this quiet confidence about himself,” Glenn said of his fifth-year signal-caller. “His influence with the guys out there, I think you can see it. He can galvanize a group of men. Obviously, he’s a talented player and I’m happy that I have him as my quarterback because I think the sky’s the limit for this player.”<\/p>\n
Besides Fields, there are multiple players and units to keep an eye on:<\/p>\n
\u25a0 Now a seventh-year vet and a three-time Pro Bowl DL, Quinnen Williams<\/a> returns to anchor a line that features Will McDonald IV<\/a> and Jermaine Johnson<\/a>, still working back from last season’s Achilles injury, on the outside and a scramble to continue to establish roles on the inside alongside “Q”.<\/p>\n \u25a0 Young standouts like WR Garrett Wilson<\/a> and RB Breece Hall<\/a> on offense and CB Sauce Gardner<\/a>and LB Jamien Sherwood<\/a> and Quincy Williams<\/a> get to show their familiarity with the new systems.<\/p>\n \u25a0 Free agents such as S Andre Cisco<\/a>, CB Brandon Stephens<\/a>, WR Josh Reynolds<\/a> and C Josh Myers<\/a> all have experience and will be competing for jobs and lending their leadership skills to the equation.<\/p>\n \u25a0 The offensive line will be in the camp spotlight. Olu Fashanu<\/a> is moving in fulltime at LT, first-round rookie Armand Membou<\/a> is competing for the RT position, and those potential bookends sandwich a youthful, productive interior featuring guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and John Simpson while veterans Joe Tippmann and Myers will compete at center.<\/p>\n \u25a0 The Jets’ 2025 Draft Class will also be on display, from Membou through TE Mason Taylor, CB Azareye’h Thomas, WR Arian Smith, S Malachi Moore and Miami front-seven defenders Kiko Mauigoa and Tyler Baron.<\/p>\n \u25a0 Special teams will also be worth watching with both kicking positions wide open.<\/p>\n Once the minicamp concludes, the players will depart Friday and Glenn won’t see them again until everyone returns for the first training camp under AG, who likes how the Green & White have responded.<\/p>\n “Each day we go out, man, we go out with a purpose, we don’t waste the day, and the guys are on point,” Glenn said. “We still have a ways to go and we understand that. But we’re working our butts off to get to where we need to be.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the offseason restrictions, the Jets’ minicamp will be the next opportunity for teammates and coaches, reporters and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[7,226,929,1917,255,88,2321,2097,6,8522],"class_list":{"0":"post-116131","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jets","10":"tag-latest-headlines","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-jets","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkjets","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-randy-lange"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114653622701195631","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
