New York Jets: Development, Not Ryan Fitzpatrick, Will Be The 2016 Key

Brian Winters, OG

Believe it or not, Brian Winters is still only 24-years old.

As a third-round pick in 2013, he’s played three seasons in the league, yet he’s still so phenomenally raw and young.

Winters is a very solid run blocker. Filling in for veteran Willie Colon early last year, he plugged the group and led the way for Chris Ivory to pick up over 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns.

The problem for Winters is when he has to stand up and take on an athletic interior pass rusher.

The problem for the Jets is that they don’t really have another option other than Winters.

His progress up until the beginning of 2016 will be one of the more underrated yet important aspects of this offense.
