It's easy to feel skeptical knowing our track record, but reports out of rookie camp are glowing.
Surprisingly, the best reports are about Arian Smith. Nick Faria compared him to Deshaun Jackson they was he ran routes and then exploded past defenders after catching the ball. Glenn was ga-ga talking about him. Blazing speed. His hands were pretty good in camp, but he acknowledges that he must focus better and improve his catching.
Mason Taylor looks very good. Catching everything away from his body and making moves after the catch. Reporters that saw rookie camp think he has more upside than he showed in college.
Nick Faria says that Tyler Baron is very underrated and looks bigger than expected. Looked great in camp and thinks at some point he will fill the JFM role.
Membou looked good and fluid.
Donavan Edwards have been the best performer in rookie camp. Every beat reporter said that he looked incredible. Maybe he was playing hurt the last year or so. All reports was that he looked like the 2022 version. It's a crowded RB room, but maybe they keep 4 guys.
Most importantly, everyone is raving about coach Glenn. He's spending a lot of time with the offense rotating with all the position groups. Lots of players are talking about how great Glenn is.
Glenn is constantly communicating with the players and also holding them accountable when they aren't using the techniques they have been taught in camp.
It almost feels like I am the head of the propaganda department here, but everyone is raving about the Jets so far. I don't know how it will translate to wins, but the vibes are great for a change. Things are being done professionally and without the typical drama.
