While many have begun to wind down from the hype of the 2021 NFL Draft, there is still plenty more draft to gear up for.

Getting recognition in the 2021 offseason must have been difficult, considering private workouts and meetings at facilities were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jets opponents in the 17-game 2021 NFL season might have to prepare for Student Body Left.
General Manager Joe Douglas struck early and struck quickly in the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday night, sending the No. 23, No. 66 and No. 86 selections to Minnesota for No. 14 and No. 143.

Vera-Tucker (6-4, 315) could slot in at left guard in a zone scheme meaning the Jets would boast a left side that includes the second-year tackle Mekhi Becton (6-7, 364) not to mention a shield on Wilson s blind side and a moving mountain of manpower in the run game.
