Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB
He’s not overly fast. He’s not overly strong.
Despite that, Lorenzo Mauldin is the New York Jets current top edge rusher.
There’s nobody even close from a potential standpoint. Rookie Jordan Jenkins comes close, but there’s a tremendous difference between year one and two. Trevor Reilly is more of an all-around type 3-4 outside linebacker.
Mauldin is the guy who’ll be relied upon to be that pin your ears back edge rusher for the Jets this season. If he doesn’t improve upon his four sacks from a season ago, Bowles’s edge rushing game will be in trouble.
