Shaquil Barrett, Buccaneers 6-2 • 250 pounds • 29 years old
-
Barrett didn’t come anywhere near his 19.5-sack season of 2019, but he still had a terrific 2020, with 8 sacks and 4 more in the playoffs. He’s not just an excellent pass rusher, but also plays the run well. Not to take anything away from his back-to-back strong seasons, but it can’t be ignored that Jason Pierre-Paul drew double teams on Barrett’s opposite side. $$$$$
Yannick Ngakoue, Ravens 6-2 • 246 • 26

IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel
(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Jets hope initiatives will increase winning edge
Aside from adding as many good players as possible to help the Jets improve, coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are trying to turn over every stone to find extra ways to give their team a winning edge, and two examples of this were announced over the course of the offseason, with the additions of a game management coach (Matt Burke) and the installation of an Athletic Care and Performance Department.
