The New York Jets seem to be lost as a franchise, and on Sunday, they will turn back to Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. It seems as if Bryce Petty was given one shot to win over the franchise, which is pretty ridiculous. During the 2016 NFL Draft, the team selected Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg, so they will likely give him a shot before drafting another arm.

The Jets defense was supposed to carry the team this season, as it appears loaded in all areas. However, they have struggled as well, and the team needs to bring in a new face on that side of the ball. Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers would be a perfect fit for the team, as the New Jersey native is arguably the most explosive player in college football.

Bringing in Peppers, who grew up in less than a half four from MetLife Stadium, would give the team a new fan favorite on defense. Cornerback Darrelle Revis looks very old this season, and his reign as the top dog on the defense is coming to an end. Peppers can play linebacker, and safety, and he has also been used on offense and special teams this season. He would be a no-brainer if he is available for the Jets.
