Top 10 New York Jets Players Going into the 2019 Season

The Jets were an interesting bunch heading into the 2019 season. After finishing 4-12 the previous year, they made several major changes, including hiring Adam Gase as head coach and adding high-profile players such as Le'Veon Bell and C.J. Mosley.

Some of their offseason decisions were questionable, but there was also plenty of reason to believe the team could improve. With Sam Darnold entering his second NFL season and a stronger supporting cast around him, the Jets appeared to have the pieces necessary to take a meaningful step forward if everything came together.

The Top Ten

  1. Jamal Adams

    A few years ago, when he was drafted, it definitely would have been suggested the Jets were not gonna do that much until perhaps this season. Adams is often regarded as one of the best safeties in football, and from what I see from this guy, he is worthy of where he was taken. He is an incredible player with great awareness.

  2. C.J. Mosley

    Clint "C. J." Mosley Jr. is a former American football linebacker who played in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and later played for the New York Jets. Mosley was selected to five Pro Bowls and became known for his strong defensive... read more

    Well, they had a big chance to pair Mosley with Barr. That duo would have been scary, but oh well, at least you got one of them, right? The loss of Williamson may hurt, but Mosley can be an all-down linebacker who can carry this team with his veteran presence.

  3. Leonard Williams

    Leonard Williams is an American football defensive tackle who plays for the Seattle Seahawks. He was selected sixth overall by the New York Jets in the 2015 NFL Draft and has earned a Pro Bowl selection during his career. Known for his strength and versatility on the defensive line, he's been a key contributor... read more

    Silent, but violent. Leonard Williams did not have that much around him after losing some great teammates. With Quinnen coming in, it should really benefit him greatly.

  4. Quinnen Williams

    Well, I made the call that the Jets would have the Williams duo paired after all. This pair could be very lethal just by the fact they share the last name but come from different universities. In any case, Quinnen should be a handful for any offensive line.

  5. Trumaine Johnson

    He also had a down year for a guy who was very good for the Rams for quite a number of years. If he can stay consistent and be healthy, he can prove he was worth what the Jets paid for him in free agency.

  6. Le'Veon Bell

    Le'Veon Andrew Bell is an American professional boxer and former football running back. He played in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bell gained recognition with the Steelers for his patient, versatile running style before... read more

    Well, last season was a disaster, and this season Bell has one goal: to silence the critics who doubt him. If he can still play at that elite level with a downgraded line, that will look very impressive and be a big help for Darnold.

  7. Sam Darnold

    Samuel Richard Darnold, born on June 5, 1997, is an American professional football quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. He played college football at the University of Southern California and was selected third overall by the New York Jets in the 2018 NFL Draft. Darnold... read more

    Sam Darnold was, at most, inconsistent. He showed signs of being a good quarterback, as well as, at other times, having ugly performances. Time to see if Adam Gase can help him, although I'm still puzzled they brought him in as head coach instead of a quarterbacks coach.

  8. Chris Herndon

    Granted, he is suspended for a month, but something tells me when he comes back, Darnold will be throwing to him a lot, like the glimpses we got last year. Herndon has the potential to be that next good-to-great tight end.

  9. Kelechi Osemele

    Well, at least it appears the Jets have a quality guard at the helm of that very vulnerable offensive line. Osemele, for most of that time in Oakland, got some space for running backs like Latavius Murray, Jalen Richard, and Marshawn Lynch to get as much as they could.

  10. Robby Anderson

    I gotta say, for how unknown that wide receiver corps had been a few seasons back, the one who shined the brightest was the undrafted Robby Anderson. Quite the surprise breakout player nobody expected to shine, even when Josh McCown was the starting quarterback in his first year.
