2024 Roster Rankings

Joe Caporoso ranks the top players on the Jets roster including notes and traits for each player. 

Top 50 Rankings

1
CB

Sauce Gardner

The best CB in the NFL headed into 2024, Sauce is as lockdown as it comes in today's NFL. It will be interesting to see if he travels in 2024 at all with opposing team's top WR...

Traits:

Length, IQ, Twitter Fingers

2
LT

Tyron Smith

When healthy, one of the best tackles in the NFL and one of the best tackles of the past decade or so in the NFL. If the Jets can get 13+ games from Smith in 2024 they will be in great shape

Traits:

HOF, Wall, Last Dance Jets

3
IDL

Quinnen Williams

A top 3 IDL in football who is a disruptive wrecking ball in the middle of the team's defense

Traits:

Dancing Bear, Meme Worthy, Maccagnan

4
RB

Breece Hall

Enough talent to be the most productive offensive player in football in 2024, especially if he continues to grow in the passing game

Traits:

Fantasy Gawd, Bowling Ball, Twitter Fingers

5
QB

Aaron Rodgers

Even if Rodgers has an okay season by his standards, it will be one of the best, if not the best quarterback season in Jets history. Everything is up to his health and producitvity in 2024

Traits:

HOF, Podcaster, Last Dance Jets

6
Edge

Haason Reddick

One of the most productive, consistent edge rushers in the league who should thrive in this defensive scheme and with Quinnen chewing up blockers

Traits:

Sack Master, Last Dance Jets

7
WR

Garrett Wilson

Posted back to back 1K seasons with a dented traffic cone at QB. Should be set to thrive as an All-Pro caliber player in 2024 with Rodgers under center

Traits:

Fantasy Gawd, IQ, About To Pop

8
LB

Quincy Williams

A breakout star in 2023, who has end to end speed that is perfect for Saleh's defense and makes him an All-Pro caliber ILB in today's NFL

Traits:

Hammer, About To Pop

9
LB

CJ Mosley

The leader of the defense and a future HOF inside linebacker who is a perfect running mate for Quincy Williams. Still packs more of a punch than he is given credit for

Traits:

IQ, Last Dance Jets, Maccagnan

10
Edge

Jermaine Johnson

A rising edge rusher who should thrive opposite of Reddick in 2024 and potentially settle into a consistent double digit sack player

Traits:

Hammer, About To Pop, Sack Master

11
IOL

Alijah Vera-Tucker

Back to back season injuries have been crushing to the Jets upfront but when out there, AVT is an athletic, swiss army knife who should settle into being an elite guard in the next few years

Traits:

About To Pop, Swiss Army Knife, Ground and Pound

12
RT

Morgan Moses

A steady, reliable starting tackle who should have never left in the first place and will bring needed physicality upfront

Traits:

Wall, Last Dance Jets

13
CB

Michael Carter

One of the best slot cornerbacks in football who is due for a new contract. He has developed into a terrific day three pick, which is both a credit to Douglas and Saleh

Traits:

About To Pop, Glove, Friend of the Pod

14
CB

DJ Reed

A perfect running mate for Sauce Gardner who has been a strong free agent signing. It will be interesting to see if the Jets can afford to keep Reed post 2024...

Traits:

Glove, Last Dance Jets

15
WR

Mike Williams

One of the better vertical receivers in football when healthy. The Jets are counting on him to be a capable WR2 and fully recover from a serious injury that ended his 2023

Traits:

Last Dance Jets, Fantasy Gawd, Breakfast Sandwich

16
TE

Tyler Conklin

A competent starting tight end, who will benefit greatly from a better quarterback, particularly in the red zone. Likely to be top 3 or 4 in targets on the team

Traits:

Friend of the Pod

17
LT

Olu Fashanu

The first round pick who will not begin the season as a starter but has enough talent and injury question marks in front of him to make a meaningful impact on the 2024 season

Traits:

About To Pop, Wall

18
S

Chuck Clark

A versatile, quality veteran safety who is coming off an injury. He should be an upgrade to Jordan Whitehead, particularly when it comes to tackling

Traits:

Swiss Army Knife

19
C

Joe Tippmann

He had a promising rookie season as a second rounder and is slotted to be team's starting center, a critical spot on such a veteran heavy team

Traits:

Swiss Army Knife, Mullet, Ground and Pound

20
IDL

Javon Kinlaw

A former first round pick who the Jets invested a suprisingly high amount of money in to run alongside Quinnen Williams. If Saleh's defense can't fully unlock his talent, nobody can.

Traits:

About To Pop

21
IOL

John Simpson

Wario Laken - Simpson is a physical, penalty accruing upgrade over Laken Tomlinson who is coming off an out of nowhere quality season as a starter for Baltimore

Traits:

Ground and Pound, Yellow Flag

22
S

Tony Adams

Struggled in his first season as a starter. Adams should be improved with more experience and is a favorite of the coaching staff

Traits:

Bubblewrap, About To Pop, Teacher's Pet

23
IOL

Wes Schweitzer

A competent, versatile backup interior offensive lineman who will inevitably play at some point this season. It was a big blow when the Jets lost him in 2023

Traits:

Swiss Army Knife, Teacher's Pet

24
WR

Malachi Corley

An immediate fan favorite and roommate of Aaron Rodgers, who should plug in immediately as the team's third receiver and a chess piece on offense

Traits:

Swiss Army Knife, YAC, Rodgers Entourage

25
TE

Jeremy Ruckert

An intriguing backup tight end/H-Back, who should see a bigger role this year and hopefully become a more critical part of the passing game

Traits:

Swiss Army Knife

26
S

Ashtyn Davis

A good special teamer and third safety who has a nose for the football. A favorite of the coaching staff

Traits:

Boyer, Turnovers, Teacher's Pet

27
Edge

Will McDonald

The Jets are hoping their 2023 first round pick can become Bryce Huff 2.0 as a situational edge rusher behind Reddick and JJ. WMD showed flashes last year but needs to put it all together in year two to show the Jets didn't reach on him

Traits:

Spin

28
IDL

Solomon Thomas

A one year contract in perpuity from Robert Saleh to chew up interior defensive line reps, stumble into sacks and get gashed against the run

Traits:

Teacher's Pet, Escrow, Good Guy

29
OT

Carter Warren

A developmental right tackle who is better suited to be a backup in 2024 than a starter

Traits:

Teacher's Pet, Discord Hero

30
K

Greg Zuerlein

The highest we will put a special teamer - GZ is a rock solid kicker, particularly from long range

Traits:

Boyer

31
P

Thomas Morstead

Punt God. One of the best in the business, particularly at pinning team's deep

Traits:

Boyer

32
WR

Allen Lazard

Probably too low but due to his contract, Lazard will stick around as a depth receiver, who can hopefully show a pulse with Rodgers back

Traits:

Midfielder, Rodgers Entourage

33
CB

Brandon Echols

A capable backup outside corner with good athleticism, a nose for the football and ownership of Tua

Traits:

Turnovers

34
QB

Tyrod Taylor

A needed veteran backup with credible starting experience. Taylor is capable of winning the Jets a few games if needed but has his own injury concerns if counted on for more than that

Traits:

Last Dance Jets, Teacher's Pet

35
LB

Jamien Sherwood

An okay depth linebacker who gets consistent situational reps depending on the Jets personnel groupings. Also adds special teams value

Traits:

Boyer

36
RB

Braelon Allen

An intriguing day two pick with a potential inside track to being Breece Hall's primary backup. A bowling ball who will provide toughness on inside runs and some Shonn Greene vibes

Traits:

Bowling Ball

37
DL

Michael Clemons

More bark than bite through two years. The Jets are hoping he can take on a larger role post JFM

Traits:

Baseball Bat

38
IDL

Leki Fotu

A low cost signing to chew up reps on the interior defensive line and help against the run with Al Woods gone

Traits:

Depth

39
RB

Israel Abanikanda

Hard to think the coaching staff is confident in him after drafting two running backs but Izzy has unique spin and burst that gives him a chance for a meaingful role in 2024

Traits:

Sleeper

40
WR

Jason Brownlee

Potential to make an impact at X receiver with the current depth chart. Brownlee flashed a bit as a rookie and has more offensive upside than his UDFA running mate, Xavier Gipson

Traits:

Sleeper, Badlands Favorite

41
WR

Xavier Gipson

Had a few moments as a rookie and should start as the team's primary returner. His impact is likely to be bigger on specials than offense going forward if Corley or one of the RBs doesn't take his return job

Traits:

Boyer

42
OT

Max Mitchell

Fine as a 9th offensive lineman with experience at both tackle and guard through his first couple of seasons

Traits:

Depth, Teacher's Pet

43
CB

Isaiah Oliver

A lowe cost depth signing for the secondary who should also add some special teams value

Traits:

Boyer

44
IDL

Tanzel Smart

Made a name for himself on Hard Knocks last year and is a decent rotational backup IDL who will be fighting for a roster spot

Traits:

Hard Knocks

45
RB

Isaiah Davis

Yes, the Jets draft two running backs this year and Davis was the other one. He will need to make a special teams impact immediately to stick on the 53

Traits:

Boyer

46
DL

Leonard Taylor

The UDFA to keep an eye on, who has a reasonable chance to stick on the final 53 and potentially take up some of JFM's previous role

Traits:

Sleeper, Badlands Favorite

47
QB

Jordan Travis

The developmental QB who hopefully gets nowhere near the field in 2024

Traits:

Sleeper

48
OL

Jake Hanson

A backup OL the Jets went out of their way to bring back, who will be competing for the 9th or 10th spot on the offensive line

Traits:

Who?!

49
TE

Kenny Yeboah

Somehow still here but a favorite of the coaching staff, particularly for his special teams value

Traits:

Boyer, Teacher's Pet

50
CB

Qwan'Tez Stiggers

A great story who may spend his rookie year on the practice squad but does have enough athleticism to potentially stick in a depth secondary role, especially if the Jets don't sign another safety

Traits:

Sleeper, Badlands Favorite

Honorable Mention

Zack Kuntz

Jarrick Bernard-Converse

Chazz Surratt 

Irv Charles

Jaylen Key
