<\/a>Bryce Petty prepares to enter his third pro season and will be given ample opportunity to earn playing time.<\/p><\/div>\n

- Speaking of Jones, GM Mike Maccagnan chose to pass on a cornerback early with a supremely talented class this year. That was somewhat reminiscent of John Idzik passing on so many talented wide receivers in 2014 when it was one of the team’s top needs. \u00a0Did Maccagnan pull an Idzik<\/strong><\/a>?<\/li>\n
- He’s a long shot to make the roster with the addition of running back Elijah McGuire, but in their search for a return man, don’t overlook second year running back Romar Morris, an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina who spent last season on IR. \u00a0The 5′ 10” 190 lb Morris reportedly ran a 4.36 40 at his pro day last season and averaged 22.1 yards per return as a kick returner at NC. \u00a0He also posted a respectable 4.8 YPC in the run game.<\/li>\n
- The addition of offensive lineman Alex Balducci<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>earlier this offseason is a curious move. \u00a0Having played defensive tackle in college, Balducci was moved to the O-line by Chip Kelly. \u00a0As a pro, Balducci has played a total of 3 snaps on the offensive line. \u00a0He must have\u00a0looked pretty impressive in those 3 snaps to get claimed by the Jets.<\/li>\n
- In a press conference with reporters<\/strong><\/a> following OTA’s, defensive coordinator said that in retrospect, the team should have given cornerback Juston Burris more playing time last season. \u00a0The admission was one that riled up some fans, but here’s to hoping this staff is starting to realize that giving young players some reps over under-performing veterans isn’t a bad thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
