Braiden McGregor and Leonard Taylor III make 53-man roster with New York Jets

The New York Jets wanted to make sure they kept a plethora of defensive lineman to make an impact at the line of scrimmage in 2024. According to team reporter Ethan Greenberg, undrafted rookies Braiden McGregor, Leonard Taylor II, and Eric Watts all made the 53-man roster.

The Jets ranked No. 25 in the NFL in opponents rush yards per game and No. 7 in total team sacks. Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich hopes that the establish depth will afford him the opportunity to deploy fresher legs in 3rd & long situations.

Congratulations to Taylor III, Watts, and Mcgregor for solidifying themselves on the Jets’ team roster.
