S &#8211; 21: <\/strong>Another Joe Douglas draft pick who enters year three with some question marks.\u00a0 The Jets had hoped his elite athleticism and sub 4.4 40 would have led to more results on game day than we&#8217;ve seen.\u00a0 However, Davis did end the season trending upward.\u00a0 All four of his passes defended and both of his interceptions came in the second half of the season.\u00a0 The former track and field star who walked on at Cal will be tested in 2022 as the Jets added more talent for Davis to compete with for playing time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Davis, Corey &#8211;

CB &#8211; 27:\u00a0<\/strong>A training camp favorite last year, Dunn will have a tougher run this season.\u00a0 With a depleted cornerback room in 2021, Dunn managed to make the 53 but saw little action.\u00a0 With the additions of DJ Reed and Sauce Gardner, things just got more crowded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Echols, Brandin &#8211; CB &#8211; 26:\u00a0<\/strong>After just one pro season, Echols looks to be a great value pick by Joe Douglas.\u00a0 The sixth-rounder (200th overall) started 14 games, intercepted two passes and had 9 pass break-ups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edoga, Chuma &#8211; OT &#8211; 70:\u00a0<\/strong>One of the last remaining draft choices of Mike Maccagnan, Edoga has never managed to crack the starting line-up but has been asked to line up at both tackle spots in a pinch.\u00a0 His versatility bring value, but the addition of Max Mitchell puts his long-term future with the team in doubt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fant, George &#8211; OT &#8211; 76: <\/strong>One of the best free agent signings of the Joe Douglas era.\u00a0 Fant has started at both tackle spots and did an outstanding job on the left side in 2021.\u00a0 He&#8217;ll look to win the same spot back as he hopes to land a contract extension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeney, Dan &#8211; OL &#8211; 67:\u00a0<\/strong>Feeney was a bit of an anomaly last year.\u00a0 He looked like a doormat in the pre-season but cleaned things up and held his own when called upon late in the season.\u00a0 He&#8217;ll look to add veteran depth once again this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ferguson, Parker &#8211;

QB &#8211; 19:\u00a0<\/strong>The veteran signal caller gives Zach Wilson a voice in the QB room who has &#8220;been there, done that&#8221;.\u00a0 Flacco also performed well while under center last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Franklin-Myers, John &#8211;
