New York Jets 2017 Roster Preview: Defensive Linemen
By Sean Dyer
Final Depth Chart
The defensive line will be the New York Jets strength in 2017.
A defensive front with Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, and Leonard Williams will be tough for opposing offensive lines to block.
I think Steve McLendon wins his starting nose tackle job back. Lawrence Thomas, Deon Simon, and Anthony Johnson hold onto their reserve spots to fill out the depth chart.
Mike Pennel and Devon Still will make their cases for roster spots but Pennel’s issues with past suspensions may hurt him and Still just started too late after signing in early August.
Tomorrow, we’ll take a look at the linebackers who will be lining up behind the New York Jets talented defensive front.
