Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets podcast, the
Speaker 1: Draft Pick Profile series, presented by Verizon Rolling on here
Speaker 1: and e A. Ethan Greenberg breaking down Cow safety Ashton Davis,
Speaker 1: who the Jets took in the third round, number sixty
Speaker 1: eight overall, their third selection of the NFL Draft, and
Speaker 1: e A. The Jets actually got the overall selection from
Speaker 1: the Giants when they traded Leonard Williams across town in October. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good value there from Joe Douglas acquiring a third round
Speaker 1: pick in and then a fifth round pick in one.
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams got the franchise tag. He still has not
Speaker 1: received a long term extension with the Giants. If he
Speaker 1: did prior to the start of the league year, that
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in one would actually have became a
Speaker 1: fourth have become a fourth round pick. But instead the
Speaker 1: Jets do pick up a pair of draft picks, and
Speaker 1: they used this one in the third round on Ashton Davis,
Speaker 1: a versatile player. I feel like that is a broken
Speaker 1: record for us. Every player that Joe Douglas has taken
Speaker 1: or brought in free agency, you've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: position flexibility, and I just thought this was an interesting
Speaker 1: spot in the draft order Greens because the Jets had
Speaker 1: two picks over nine selections on Friday night because Denzel
Speaker 1: Mims the wide receiver at the Baylor. Of course, they
Speaker 1: took with the fifty ninth overall selection in the second round,
Speaker 1: and they come back with the Giants selection here early
Speaker 1: in the third and they grabbed the Kale safety. The
Speaker 1: other thing I thought was interesting was after the Jets
Speaker 1: go tackle and receiver in rounds one and two, and
Speaker 1: then I thought it was kind of a guessing game.
Speaker 1: Anybody's guests where the Jets could go next. And I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of pundents out there, and I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of fans thought that the Jet
Speaker 1: would go with the safety. But it adds good depth.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about where Davis fits and on this
Speaker 1: roster in a bit, but before we actually dive in
Speaker 1: to Ashton Davis the player, let's hear from the Jets personnel.
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Joe Douglas, Rex Hogan, chat Alexander and
Speaker 1: Phil Savage on why they liked Ashton Davis. You Ashton
Speaker 1: bring speed, ball skills, versatility. Can see him line up
Speaker 1: over slot receiver and cover them and man coverage. You
Speaker 1: can see him line up as a high safety and
Speaker 1: range over to the sideline to make a play on
Speaker 1: the ball. You can see him attack the alleys in
Speaker 1: the in the run game, you can see him blitz
Speaker 1: what we have with Jamal, with Marcus, and you know,
Speaker 1: adding n Ashton, letting him compete, you know, the hope
Speaker 1: is that he can he can provide that kind of
Speaker 1: versatility and playmaking to our back end. Not only did
Speaker 1: he walk on in football, he walked on in track
Speaker 1: at Cal and ended up you know, doing significantly well
Speaker 1: for their track team at Cal, and then continue to
Speaker 1: improve as a football player and established himself as one
Speaker 1: of the premier defensive players, not only for Cal, but
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve. His versatility really stands out. That
Speaker 1: guys played free safety, strong safety, He's played corner, He's
Speaker 1: played nickel and those nickel and dime packages. Ashton's another
Speaker 1: guy who also provides us that versatility. And he didn't
Speaker 1: get to run at the combine, but I really think
Speaker 1: he would have tested extremely well without being able to
Speaker 1: because of the surgery he underwent. But this is an
Speaker 1: explosive athlete, another height, weight and speed guy who's gonna
Speaker 1: be able to help us on defense and special teams.
Speaker 1: He's really got good football intelligence. He cleans up a
Speaker 1: lot as a safety. You know, he's a good tackler.
Speaker 1: I think he is physical and he made some impressive
Speaker 1: players on tape universes running pass. He's just he's really instinctive,
Speaker 1: really high football like you for the game. You know,
Speaker 1: he can he can cover receiver, he can cover a slot.
Speaker 1: He's got man in his own ability and he can
Speaker 1: match and maryn. We think he's gonna he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a really good player as well for us. Just gives us,
Speaker 1: you know, that much more versatility on the back end
Speaker 1: market Singe all two really good players at that at
Speaker 1: the safety position, and then incomes Ashton Davison and we
Speaker 1: feel like he's a guy that's gonna be able to
Speaker 1: help us on fourth down as well. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: a really good special teams player in the NFL. So
Speaker 1: just really excited to get him, to get him in
Speaker 1: the fold in that in that dB room and with
Speaker 1: those safeties, and you know, those are three really talented guys,
Speaker 1: you know, coming from where he came from. Uh, he's
Speaker 1: really an impressive, you know guy that talked to. He's
Speaker 1: an impressive young man, and uh, I don't think this
Speaker 1: moment is gonna be too big for him, just because
Speaker 1: of what he was able to overcome to get to
Speaker 1: get to this point. You know, I think Ashton is
Speaker 1: is one of those kinds of players that he's earned
Speaker 1: everything he's ever gotten. And you know, in this situation,
Speaker 1: of course, a lot has been made about him being
Speaker 1: a former walk onto the cow football team. Look, this
Speaker 1: guy is extremely talented. I mean, he's a legit track man,
Speaker 1: can absolutely run. But the thing that makes him different
Speaker 1: than a lot of guys who trans transition from track
Speaker 1: to football is that he's actually very instinctive as a player.
Speaker 1: He's extremely versatile. Uh. There are a lot of safeties
Speaker 1: that have straight line speed, but they can't do a
Speaker 1: lot of other things in terms of coverage, playing in
Speaker 1: the box, breaking down in space, that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: and Ashton Davis can do all of those things. He's
Speaker 1: a cerebral player. As I said, He's been an achiever
Speaker 1: type person his entire life. And uh, we were we
Speaker 1: were excited to get him. We we just think that
Speaker 1: he's going to add another piece to the puzzle defensively
Speaker 1: and because of that versatility I mentioned. You know, he
Speaker 1: can play safe, he can play down in the box.
Speaker 1: He might even take some reps outside as a corner.
Speaker 1: He's certainly fast enough to do it. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think if he had not had the injury or
Speaker 1: the surgery that happened back in December, and he would
Speaker 1: have been able to participate paid fully in the Senior
Speaker 1: Bowl or the Combine, I think he clearly would have been,
Speaker 1: you know, a higher pick. So I think this this
Speaker 1: whole scenario where you know, he really was not able
Speaker 1: to work out due to the surgery and then this
Speaker 1: pandemic that hurt him some in terms of the draft stock.
Speaker 1: But for us, we went by what we saw on
Speaker 1: the film, on the tapes and in the fall, and
Speaker 1: our scouts really liked him during the season. Great insight
Speaker 1: as always from those guys and e A. The first
Speaker 1: thing about Ashton Davis that we kind of here the
Speaker 1: personnel staff talk about is his backstory. And this is
Speaker 1: a player that grew up and had a massive growth spur.
Speaker 1: I mean he was he grew about eight inches and
Speaker 1: added about seventy five pounds in his final three years
Speaker 1: at Santa Cruz High School. In California. He doesn't receive
Speaker 1: any football offers. He walks onto the Cow track team
Speaker 1: as a back doorway of walking onto the Cow football team,
Speaker 1: and of course he ends up being a third round
Speaker 1: pick of the NFL Draft. Where do you want to
Speaker 1: start with this guy? I think he should be selling
Speaker 1: movie rights to his story. Green See started high school
Speaker 1: as a bike but four sophomore who weighed ninety pounds
Speaker 1: in Santa Cruz High School. Greens seventeen players his junior season,
Speaker 1: and one of their offense ONLIVEE and wait a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five pounds. Great article by Bruce Feldman in
Speaker 1: The Athletic if you want to learn about this backstory.
Speaker 1: But that team finished one and nine overall. He was
Speaker 1: a zero star recruit, basically recruited himself to California and then, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, gradually progressed. He was a special team stalwart
Speaker 1: early on in his career that he became a defensive regular.
Speaker 1: He's just continuing to progress. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: reason to think right now that Ashton Davis is just
Speaker 1: gonna get better and better. He is a fantastic athlete. Greens.
Speaker 1: One thing that stands out about Davis. When you hear
Speaker 1: from the differen guys that have covered Davis and the
Speaker 1: Jets personnel staff that talked about him, it seems he's
Speaker 1: very instinctive for a player that's somewhat new to the
Speaker 1: position and somewhat new to football. To your point, he
Speaker 1: plays cornerback his first year on the football team in
Speaker 1: ten after red shirting, and he wins the Special Team's
Speaker 1: m VP Award back to back years, moves to free safety,
Speaker 1: and then this past year he's second team All Packed
Speaker 1: twelve and he's a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, which
Speaker 1: goes to the nation's top former walk on. And I think, really,
Speaker 1: when you look at Davis's story, it's fascinating. And when
Speaker 1: you hear about the different personnel guys talk about adding
Speaker 1: to the fabric of what they want the New York
Speaker 1: Jets to be. This is a guy that has worked
Speaker 1: his way to where he is now. Not only has
Speaker 1: he over overcome a lot on the football field, but
Speaker 1: his father had an addiction problem where he went to
Speaker 1: rehab and he's been clean now. And actually Ashton Davis,
Speaker 1: his sister, and his father are all share the same
Speaker 1: tattoo on their rist of the day that Ashton's father,
Speaker 1: Sean has been clean and so really a fascinating story
Speaker 1: and interesting prospect with a fascinating back story about sixth
Speaker 1: grade Ashton Davis writes, one day, I hope to be famous.
Speaker 1: My dream is to play in the NFL, NBA, and
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball all at once until I'm too old
Speaker 1: to play. Sports is my hobby and that is all
Speaker 1: I do. One day, I hope to wish upon a
Speaker 1: star and try to tackle any chance I have at
Speaker 1: making my dream come true. Well, he's probably not gonna
Speaker 1: play Major League Baseball or in the n b A,
Speaker 1: but he is certainly going to play in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. At Cal Green's, he played in forty eight
Speaker 1: out of a possible fifty games. He made thirty three starts,
Speaker 1: including nine consecutive, and then you look what he did
Speaker 1: in terms of production, hundred and seventy one tackles, seven interceptions,
Speaker 1: nineteen pass defenses, three force fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.
Speaker 1: So he filed the football and athletic guy. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about his track background here in a moment, but the
Speaker 1: other thing he did was contribute on special teams more
Speaker 1: than seventeen hundred all purpose yards. Very fast, guy contributed
Speaker 1: as a kick returner. You talked about what he did
Speaker 1: early on from a gunner position. This is guy who
Speaker 1: you mentioned the fabric, a great desire to play this game,
Speaker 1: a great flexibility, a great passion, and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna fit in and we're gonna talk about this in
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he's a perfect fit for
Speaker 1: what the Jets are going to do defensively. I think
Speaker 1: something else I like about Davis is he used track
Speaker 1: as a way to get on the football all radar,
Speaker 1: but he was still a four year member of the
Speaker 1: Golden Bears track team. He was a four time All American.
Speaker 1: He won a pack twelveth championship. He qualified for the
Speaker 1: n C Double A Championships in eighteen. He finished fourteen
Speaker 1: and the hundred ten meter hurdles, and he got a
Speaker 1: track scholarship, but he turned it down here because it
Speaker 1: meant that he would have to give up his football dreams.
Speaker 1: And he was actually put on scholarship for the Golden
Speaker 1: Bears football team in twenty seventeen. I know we feel
Speaker 1: like we're beating a dead horse saying it, but he's
Speaker 1: really worked up to where he was the sixty overall
Speaker 1: selection real quick, just on his pre draft process. He
Speaker 1: gets hurt at the end of the year. He undergo surgery.
Speaker 1: And this is a guy where Phil Savage said this
Speaker 1: he was hurt by an evaluation standpoint, because he wasn't
Speaker 1: able to participate in any of the All Star games.
Speaker 1: In the combine, he didn't have a medical recheck the
Speaker 1: pro the teams couldn't get him in for a top thirty.
Speaker 1: Is it? So this is another guy where the Jets
Speaker 1: might have gotten great value At the end of the day.
Speaker 1: We might be looking at this in a couple of
Speaker 1: years and say, wow, how did Ashton Davis fall to
Speaker 1: the overall selection? And this is because of an unusual process.
Speaker 1: He certainly would have ran while we know that and
Speaker 1: the kid is trained in it, you know, so you're
Speaker 1: thinking that he did not have the ability in Indianapolis
Speaker 1: to run the forty yard dash where you know he
Speaker 1: would have thrived in that area. And then at the
Speaker 1: senior bolt too, we mentioned Dunzel Mims overall selection by
Speaker 1: the Jets. Well, he had a dominant week Donomobile Alabama
Speaker 1: and helped his draft status in terms of proteins. Looking
Speaker 1: at him. Well, Ashton Davis didn't have the ability to
Speaker 1: go down there and perform physically on the field in
Speaker 1: front of all those scalps. So yeah, there definitely is
Speaker 1: reason to think that this is strong value here. And
Speaker 1: you hear a lot of punt It's talk about Ashton Davis,
Speaker 1: what he brings from an a tangible standpoint, and then
Speaker 1: also how freakish is athletically. I think it's fair to
Speaker 1: say any person who walks on at cal to be
Speaker 1: a track and field star. In Nanny Binghams a football
Speaker 1: star as well, they have some freak athletic tenant season.
Speaker 1: And also it talks about their drive and what's inside
Speaker 1: and those are things he certainly can't measure. All right,
Speaker 1: let's hear from Olivy land Is, who spoke to Ashton
Speaker 1: Davis after he was selected. It's safe to say that
Speaker 1: you've had quite the journey to get to this point.
Speaker 1: What were some of your initial reactions when you heard
Speaker 1: your name called off the board. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: to think that I was just I was so happy,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I was happy to see my mom's
Speaker 1: look at my mom's face and my dad's face. Everyone
Speaker 1: was just so happy for me and that was amazing
Speaker 1: to see and um, you know, I can still hear
Speaker 1: them dreaming in the background here, So that really brought
Speaker 1: me a lot of joy and just you know, from
Speaker 1: my own personal accomplishments. Um, it felt really good thinking
Speaker 1: back to your own journey. Like I mentioned, you started
Speaker 1: out as a track star. Were tracks star still in
Speaker 1: college balancing both of that and football? How much work
Speaker 1: did you have to put in on the football side
Speaker 1: to get to this point today. I had to put
Speaker 1: on a lot of work. So I would go to
Speaker 1: spring wal practices and then track right after. I basically
Speaker 1: had to do both like I was a walk on,
Speaker 1: because I was, and uh, but I put in I
Speaker 1: put in a fair amount of work. When I got
Speaker 1: switched to safety, I uh, we're going to film at
Speaker 1: five thirty am. We called it the breakfast Club, and
Speaker 1: we were just trying to learn the scheme and trying
Speaker 1: to get it down and all that, you know, began
Speaker 1: to come to fruition by the time I got moved
Speaker 1: to safety and started my first game. For a lot
Speaker 1: of people who were not college athletes, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that they understand how crazy of a schedule that is.
Speaker 1: But you being first a track star. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of accomplishments here they packed twelve winner in the
Speaker 1: hunter and ten hurdles. And how much did your track
Speaker 1: your your track resume help you in football because you
Speaker 1: had to do both. Yeah, um, we'll track help me out. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: my first year in track, I did really well and
Speaker 1: that kind of got the ear of football coaches a
Speaker 1: little bit. And um, you know, affording me that opportunity. Um,
Speaker 1: and just the whole mindset training for tracks a lot different. Um,
Speaker 1: A lot of times you're out there running by yourself.
Speaker 1: You gotta hit your own times. You gotta be pretty
Speaker 1: disciplined or else you're gonna you know, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: get the results you want. Come come to meat day
Speaker 1: so that that mindset is carried over with me. And UM,
Speaker 1: yeah it was, there was. It was a lot on
Speaker 1: my plate. But I was blessed to have those problems.
Speaker 1: Those are good problems to have. You mentioned a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier. So let's circle back. You said you first
Speaker 1: started out in the cornerback position and then you transitioned
Speaker 1: to safety. How difficult was that transition at first? Um?
Speaker 1: I felt a lot more comfortable with safety. So, UM,
Speaker 1: back in high school, we didn't have like a ton
Speaker 1: of schemes. So it was it was when I switched
Speaker 1: to safety, it just felt natural. Um, learning all that
Speaker 1: stuff was it was. It came really quickly to me,
Speaker 1: and it all kind of just made sense. And so
Speaker 1: if it was really natural transition. Now that you have
Speaker 1: experience in both the cornerback position and safety, how versatile
Speaker 1: would you consider yourself in both positions? And how much
Speaker 1: do do you do you think you can contribute to
Speaker 1: both positions. I think I can contribute, you know, anywhere
Speaker 1: they put me. Um, I'm comfortable on the outside, inside, um,
Speaker 1: whatever the case. Maybe you know during one on ones
Speaker 1: would take reps with the corners as well. So I just, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable wherever they want to put me. Going
Speaker 1: off that a little bit, defensive coordinator Greg Williams, he's
Speaker 1: been known around the league for making all of his
Speaker 1: defensive players learned at the very least two different positions.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're already off to a head start. So
Speaker 1: when you think about that and how he handles his players,
Speaker 1: what would you tell him that you can bring to
Speaker 1: the table. You already kind of mentioned a little bit,
Speaker 1: But when you think about Greg Williams specifically. UM, well,
Speaker 1: if he's a guy that likes people that know multiple positions,
Speaker 1: I think that, uh that I'm a good fit for that. Um,
Speaker 1: you know. I that was something that I kind of
Speaker 1: took the next step on after my first year of
Speaker 1: playing safety. I wanted to know every position and not
Speaker 1: just my responsibility, but that way they could put me,
Speaker 1: um if someone went down. And um we did that
Speaker 1: actually this year a couple of times, and I knew
Speaker 1: the scheme well enough where they could just plug me
Speaker 1: in and play me aston if you were to be
Speaker 1: able to play some of the safety positions. Pro bowler
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is also back there at safety, and then
Speaker 1: Marcus May. How much do you think you can learn
Speaker 1: from players of that caliber? I'm excited, Um, mom is
Speaker 1: a guy watched on tape, and Marcus May he's also
Speaker 1: really talented. So I look forward to learn from those guys. Um.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I'm excited about for sure. UM is
Speaker 1: you know, getting behind to two guys that know what
Speaker 1: they're doing back there and uh soaking up all that
Speaker 1: knowledge real quickly before I let you go. You also
Speaker 1: contributed to special teams back at cal. What was some
Speaker 1: of your roles and how do you think you can
Speaker 1: continue that in the NFL? Yeah, so on kickoff, I
Speaker 1: was a gunner. Um, I was a gun around pun
Speaker 1: as well. I played a variety of position on punt
Speaker 1: return and kickoff return. I also returned punts and kick kickoffs.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I kind of tried to do as much
Speaker 1: as I could on that. And uh, such teams is
Speaker 1: something that I enjoy doing and think that I can
Speaker 1: I can help us with at the next level. And
Speaker 1: let's now take a look at where Davis fits in
Speaker 1: on this Jets defense. We mentioned that he was a
Speaker 1: versatile peace. Greg Williams loves versatility and at the safety position.
Speaker 1: Of course, Jamal Adams and Marcus May the starters, but
Speaker 1: after those two guys a bit of a question mark
Speaker 1: before Ashton Davis came into the fold here, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: the Jets may have the best safety and the entire
Speaker 1: National Football leave Jamal Adams two time team I'm VP,
Speaker 1: he was first team All Pro last year, two time
Speaker 1: Pro Bowler. He's such a destructive force and instinct the
Speaker 1: ball player. Um. But the only player in the defensive
Speaker 1: backfield who played sixteen games last year was Marcus May,
Speaker 1: and he's range e. Uh, he helps these guys get
Speaker 1: set up. He is, uh, the central command piece back there.
Speaker 1: When the Jets had so many issues at the cornerback position,
Speaker 1: all those young cornerbacks who came in and played, they
Speaker 1: point to Marcus May and say, hey, he's the guy
Speaker 1: who's kind of determined our shock clock, when we should
Speaker 1: be disguising, when when we should be coming off markets.
Speaker 1: May doesn't get enough credit for what he brings to
Speaker 1: the table on this team. But with that being said,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned Greens, who was gonna be that third
Speaker 1: piece behind those guys. In the National Football League, a
Speaker 1: lot of people say that your your base defense is
Speaker 1: a sub package, whether you're playing five defensive backs the
Speaker 1: Nickel scheme or sometimes even dying depending on what offenses
Speaker 1: are doing. Sometimes you're throwing out there six defensive backs
Speaker 1: on the field. What you like about Ashton Davis is
Speaker 1: when he started getting on the field defensively for the
Speaker 1: Kel Golden Bears, it was at cornerback. So you know
Speaker 1: he has free safety skills evidenced by his seven interceptions,
Speaker 1: and we've talked about his speed, but other people talk
Speaker 1: about when you watch him on the film, is He's
Speaker 1: another guy who brings a physical element to the game.
Speaker 1: He does not act away from contact, and that should
Speaker 1: be no surprise given his background. So now what you
Speaker 1: have is you have Jamal Adams, you have Marcus May.
Speaker 1: Those are two versatile pieces. But you add this guy
Speaker 1: to the equation, you have the potential to use him
Speaker 1: as a big, big nickel. And what you like about
Speaker 1: the Jets defensive backs let's include Brian pull into the
Speaker 1: mix here, is that you can walk these guys down
Speaker 1: in the box, guys like Ashton Davis, Jamal Adams, Brian Poole,
Speaker 1: and you're not giving up anything with your run defense.
Speaker 1: And those guys can get over. A guy like Ashton
Speaker 1: Davis can get over a tight end and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got you. Yeah. I think that something you mentioned
Speaker 1: in terms of Marcus May is something that chat Alexander
Speaker 1: mentioned that Ashton Davis, Marcus May, and Ashton Davis both
Speaker 1: may not have maybe eye popping stats at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, but something that they both do very well,
Speaker 1: according to different people, is that they erase a lot
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of problems that your secondary might have,
Speaker 1: and they cover up a lot for the corners throughout
Speaker 1: a play and something that I can only imagine Ashton
Speaker 1: Davis fully healthy, with Marcus May and Jamal Adams, what
Speaker 1: kind of pre snap manipulation Greg Williams will want to deploy.
Speaker 1: I think that at the end of the day, maybe
Speaker 1: safety wasn't the position a lot of Jets fans were
Speaker 1: thinking about in the third round because of guys like
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and Marcus May. But this is a guy
Speaker 1: that can one step on the field in sub packages
Speaker 1: to your point, and the other part of this is
Speaker 1: he might become a key cog and brand Lawyer's scheme,
Speaker 1: whether that's returning, whether that's coverage. But this is who
Speaker 1: chat Alexander described as a four down player for the Jets.
Speaker 1: I think we had caught up too much in the
Speaker 1: positions because this guy, to me is a defensive back
Speaker 1: and you can use them in multiple ways. And the Jets, Uh,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be hell to play, especially on third down
Speaker 1: next year because what Greg Williams can do. Because you're
Speaker 1: getting c J. Mosley back. But c J. Mosley is
Speaker 1: not leaving the field. Okay, we know that when c J.
Speaker 1: Mosley is healthy fifty sevens out there, he ain't leaving,
Speaker 1: but you can walk these guys down. Jamal Adams, in effect,
Speaker 1: he can play linebacker and so can Pool. They can
Speaker 1: line up as linebackers. Ashton Davis Ken as well. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying in base I'm saying in certain situations, and
Speaker 1: these guys have the versatility to move around, so you're
Speaker 1: gonna see that as well. And the Jets took advantage
Speaker 1: of Jamal Adams last year so much with his very
Speaker 1: unique pass rushing problems. But Greg Williams is going to
Speaker 1: attack the quarterback with defensive backs at times. You're adding
Speaker 1: versatile pieces of the defensive backfield, Guys who can cover,
Speaker 1: guys who can play the ron, and guys can come
Speaker 1: up field and be affected with their pass rush. Very
Speaker 1: well said. That was another edition of the Official Jets
Speaker 1: podcast Draft Pick Profile series presented by Verizon. Next up,
Speaker 1: E A and I going down to Gainesville with Florida
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Jabari Zaniga
