Jermaine Johnson, edge rusher for the New York Jets, has been selected to replace Khalil Mack on the AFC's Pro Bowl roster, joining teammates Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. Johnson, in his second season, started every game for the Jets and recorded 55 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 16 quarterback hits, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
Jermaine Johnson, the forgotten first-round pick of the New York Jets, is starting to make a name for himself in his second season. After a slow start as a pass rusher, Johnson has shown significant improvement in recent games, recording 14 pressures and three sacks over the past three weeks. His performance has elevated the Jets' pass rush, making them one of the most dominant in the league. While consistency is key, Johnson's recent play suggests he has the potential to become a star player. If he can maintain his current level of performance, it would greatly benefit the Jets' defense and solidify the 2022 draft class as one of the best in history.
After the New York Jets' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, several Jets players took to social media to respond to comments made by Eagles players. Sauce Gardner, who did not play due to a concussion, fired back at A.J. Brown using the same meme Brown had used in his original post. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson mentioned that the Jets are "taking names" and warned against talking trash on the field. Left tackle Mekhi Becton posted memes suggesting that the Eagles claimed to have let the Jets score. Defensive end Jermaine Johnson spoke about the team's resilience and ability to overcome adversity. The Jets, now 3-3, have shown a tight-knit mentality that could lead to more victories in the future.
New York Jets' edge rusher Jermaine Johnson feels "insanely more comfortable" heading into his second season, expressing excitement about the improvements he has made in explosiveness, technique, and physicality. Johnson, who had a rotational role in his rookie season, aims to make a bigger impact on the field. The Jets added another edge rusher, Will McDonald, in this year's draft, and the success of both young players could contribute to a formidable defense for the upcoming season.
The Green Bay Packers could potentially ask for second-year edge rusher Jermaine Johnson instead of a first-round pick in a trade with the New York Jets for Aaron Rodgers. Johnson was a first-round talent in the 2022 NFL Draft and showed potential in his rookie year with 2.5 sacks, five quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, and a safety. The Packers need more pass-rush depth, and Johnson could be a perfect complement to their current roster.
