Jets Rookies Shine in Minicamp

0:00On May 3rd, the 2026 NFL Draft went down just two weeks back, and the Jets came out swinging with a solid haul from Pittsburgh, plus some smart, undrafted, free agent pickups to build depth. Now the spotlight shift into rookie minicam, kicking off Friday May 1st at Florian Park, where these fresh faces get their first shot to shine, for GM Darren Moogie and Coach Aaron Glenn. Earlier this month, the team wrapped voluntary workouts, and minicam ramps it up with non-contact drills, classroom time, and position battles that could lock in roles early. Jets fans are buzzing about the quarterback spot especially, with Bayley, Zappy, and Brady cook not exactly set in the world on fire as backups. Keep an eye on 4th round quarterback Cade Klebnik, the ex-Clemson star they traded up for at Pick 110. This 22-year-old put up over 10,000 yards in 73 touchdowns in college, and he's raw, but got that 5 star pedigree. Push for emergency duty if he balls out.

1:00Then there's 6th round guard and Nez Cooper, a 6 foot 5Bs for Miami who barely led up a sack last year, perfect for bulking up the O-line. Meanwhile, undrafted kicker Will Ferrin from BYU is stepping into the void left by Nick folks departure to Atlanta. Due drain 47 field goals over 2 big 12 seasons, hidden 72.7% from 50 plus, and with other kickers. Already signed, he's fighting for that long-term gig. As OTA's a mandatory minicamp heat up next, these rookies could reshape the depth chart quick. Jets nation stay locked in, cause spring balls wear. Legends star Bruin.
