New York Jets 2016 Player Power Rankings; Who Ranks No. 1?
9. Eric Decker, WR
This guy is the consummate professional.
Though nobody will confuse Eric Decker with one of the best wide receivers in the game, his role as a solid No. 2 guy is worth his weight in gold.
The 29-year old wide-out went from catching passes from Peyton Manning to a very challenging situation in New Jersey. Through it all, he remained calm, cool, and went about his business very quietly.
In 2016 it paid dividends.
In Chan Gailey’s spread offense Decker hauled in 80 balls for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns. The only person Ryan Fitzpatrick might like staring at more than Decker in the redzone is his wife, Jessie James Decker.
Aside from that, Decker remains the apple of Fitz’s eye from the 20-yard line going in.
