Special Teams

  • K: Nick Folk
  • P: Ryan Quigley
  • LS: Tanner Purdum
  • KR: Chris Owusu, Zac Stacy
  • PR: Jeremy Kerley

Perhaps the best Jets player in 2014 was kicker Nick Folk. Hitting 32-of-39 field goals on the season, Folk was a bright spot in one of the darker seasons in recent memory.

The punting situation still remains questionable with Ryan Quigley. Tanner Purdum has been a mainstay as the long-snapper since 2010.

The one real negative about the Jets offensive weapons will remain speed. The lack of elusiveness rears its ugly head when thinking about punt and kick returners. Guys like Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Chris Ivory are good players, but they’re all the same type of player: Big and possession like.

The Jets will heavily rely on Chris Owusu in the kick return game and Jeremy Kerley with punts.
