New York Jets Land MASSIVE Offensive Weapon in Latest 2024 NFL Draft Projections
How will the New York Jets bounce-back in 2024?
Following an injury-riddled 2023 campaign, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets seem primed for a deep playoff run when January rolls around.
In ESPN’s Matt Miller’s latest 2024 NFL mock draft, the New York Jets will give the aforementioned Rodgers quite the offensive playmaker when the club is on the clock at 10th overall. The pick for Miller is Georgia tight end, Brock Bowers.
“If it were me, I’d be going offensive tackle or wideout here. But after the Jets acquired Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses and Mike Williams, it feels like they are all-in on winning this season with Aaron Rodgers returning from a torn Achilles. That means going with the biggest impact player at No. 10, and Bowers fits that model. He can operate from the slot and be Rodgers’ safety valve and hot-route artist. Bowers played 40 games over three years in college, caught 26 touchdowns and had only eight drops. He missed some time during the 2023 season with an ankle injury, but he is a top-five player in the class in terms of NFL readiness and expected impact.”
New York Jets’ 2023 Season Derailed by Aaron Rodgers’ Week One Injury
Everything was set for the New York Jets to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders for the first time in seemingly forever. However, the Aaron Rodgers era in ‘The Big Apple’ didn’t go as planned as the future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback tore his Achilles on the very first drive of his Jets career.
As expected, the QB carousel of Zach Wilson, Trevor Siemian, and Tim Boyle didn’t quite get the job done as the Jets finished with a subpar 7-10 record despite some flashes from the usual suspects Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall.
