A surprising New York Jets defender got a shoutout following the team’s 24-3 throttling of the New England Patriots.
The Jets (2-1) defense had a huge effort. Seven total sacks, doubling their season total in one game.
While Will McDonald IV took headlines for the second-straight game with another multi-sack outing, it was not him who got a shout out from NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger.
During his social media “Baldy’s breakdowns,” it was Leonard Taylor III who did. Taylor had a takedown late against Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye when the game was essentially over.
“There’s something there,” Baldinger said about Taylor.
The full breakdown can be found below:
