The New York Jets will, at the very least, have a chance to be well-represented at the Pro Bowl in February in Las Vegas.
Fan voting wrapped up this week and four Jets players ended up leading their respective positions in the AFC from that portion of the vote, which counts for one-third of the vote. Coaches and players also get a vote.
The four Jets that led their positions in the AFC and seemingly one step closer to the Pro Bowl:
CB Sauce Gardner
DT Quinnen Williams
ST Justin Hardee
LS Thomas Hennessy
Of those four, all but Hennessy wound up the overall top vote-getters at their positions. Hennessy finished third overall. How about a round of applause for Jets fans for showing support for the long snapper?
Three other Jets finished in the top five in the AFC at their positions: LB C.J. Mosley (3rd), S Lamarcus Joyner (4th) and KR Braxton Berrios (4th).
Final fan voting for Pro Bowl: 4 #Jets lead respective positions. AFC results, w/ overall rank in parentheses
CB Gardner – 1 (1)
DT Williams – 1 (1)
LS Hennessy – 1 (3)
ST Hardee – 1 (1)
LB Mosley – 3 (5)
S Joyner – 4 (5)
KR Berrios – 4 (6)
