You're welcome. The UDFA class doesn't sound quite as good as last year's. I guess with the Jets having the Mr. Irrelevant pick and with 2 less people in personnel, they didn't get started working on UDFAs until later or something.
He's listed as 6' 200lbs, but looks more like 175-180. Only had 4 catches last year and has played in 3 different college programs, Louisville, Alabama, Miami. Had some injuries but can't get on the field when healthy. Camp body.
I know nothing about any of these guys, but these are the positions that I thought we needed depth in and was thinking we’d go for on Day 3…S, DT, WR, IOL Funny that they clearly didn’t think much of the depth in this draft as we just kept trading down and out of round 4…they must be seeing all these guys as pretty much even or interchangable. Just curious on that…
They signed Qb, Peewee Jarrett - big body and arm... but don't expect anything else... https://www.pnj.com/story/sports/nf...ork-jets-as-undrafted-free-agent/73491696007/
I thought this was fake news so I did 16 double takes. this is real Never heard of the school and the name is LOL .... nice size though, wonder what his speed is if he can play tight end.
Say what you want in itself about Taylor but there seemingly was a lot of immediate post-draft talk out there on him being the #1 UDFA available. Signing him was a pretty big get in that respect for this franchise.
I follow so much college football to the point where I even saw some college tape and a live game when that Tim Demorat kid from Fordham played Ohio. And I’ve never heard of this kid lol.
The #Jets have signed former Louisville OL Willie Tyler III to an UDFA deal, his agency confirms to @XPANDSports
Al Blades Jr., CB, Duke A former three-star recruit, Al Blades Jr. spent four years at Miami before transferring to Duke in 2022. Blades' father (Al Blades Sr.), uncle (Brian Blades), and cousin (H.B. Blades) all played in the NFL. At 6-foot, 194 pounds, Blades has excellent length and plenty of experience at high-level Division-I programs. His lack of long speed could be an issue at the NFL level, but he has impressive physical traits and an NFL bloodline that make him an intriguing developmental cornerback prospect.
Eric Watts, DL, Connecticut The Jets are reportedly giving Connecticut defensive lineman Eric Watts a whopping $245,000 in guarantees, among the highest of all UDFAs this year. It's easy to see why. Watts was a projected Day 3 pick who has freakish athletic traits and a high pass-rush upside At 6-foot-5, 276 pounds, Watts is likely viewed as a potential John Franklin-Myers replacement if all goes according to plan. The Jets have now signed three high-profile undrafted defensive linemen. The battle for roster spots between Watts, Leonard Taylor III, and Braiden McGregor will be a fun one.
Marcus Riley, WR, Florida A&M A standout HBCU wide receiver, Marcus Riley helped lead Florida A&M to its first Southwestern Athletic Conference and Celebration Bowl championships in program history this past season. Riley is undersized at 5-foot-10, 167 pounds, and is likely more of a slot receiver at the NFL level. While he has average athletic traits, Riley was also an asset in the return game at Florida A&M, which could be his path to an NFL roster.
