Jets Strengthen Secondary with Champion Cornerback

0:00It's April 25th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The New York Jets just strengthened their secondary on day two of the NFL draft, grabbing Indiana corner-backed Angelo Ponds with the 50th overall. Pick in the second round. Ponds made a big move last year, transferring to Indiana from James Madison in 2024, then helping the Hoosiers snag the national championship before jumping to the pros. For three college seasons, he balled out with seven interceptions, including two pick sixes, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 33 passes, knocked away. This addition gives the Jets a lockdown corner, with championship pedigree and ball-hawking skills to shore up their backfield right away. Ponds steps in, ready to contribute, setting the Jets up for a tougher past defense as the draft rolls on.
