Today we come to the end of our complete breakdown of every New York Jets draft pick, by looking at first rounder Quinton Coples. In case you haven’t been paying attention, here are the links to all the previous articles. Another huge shout out to Chris Gross, TOJ’s own Mike Mayock, who didn’t leave the film room the past two weeks.  Stephen Hill Demario Davis Josh Bush Terrance Ganaway Robert T.

Why Kyle Wilson Is Not A Good Option At Nickel CB For The New York Jets

Recently I wrote an article about the weaknesses of the New York Jets in 2011. Some of my followers and their followers strongly disagreed that Kyle Wilson was a liability as a nickel cornerback last season.
