Aaron Rodgers shines, Michael Carter struggles

The Jets wrapped up the preseason with a 32-24 win over the Giants on Saturday evening.

It was an extra-long preseason and coaching camp for the Jets with their participation within the Corridor of Fame Sport.

The Jets reported to camp July 19.

Practically six weeks later, the Jets will pare their roster all the way down to 53 gamers this week after which start preparation for the Sept. 11 opener in opposition to the Payments. 

After watching 5 weeks of coaching camp and 4 preseason video games, right here is whose inventory went up and whose went down getting into the season.

Top off

Aaron Rodgers: It appeared inconceivable for Rodgers’ inventory to get any larger after the spring, however he did it.

Rodgers made unbelievable throws almost daily in apply and had only a few miscues. His management was additionally on show and he actually built-in himself with the workforce.

He capped all the things off with two sequence Saturday evening, the final one a landing drive that featured a fairly cross to Garrett Wilson for the rating. 

Mekhi Becton: The 2020 first-round decide had a gradual begin to camp, however actually got here on within the last weeks and seized the beginning proper sort out job.

Becton is getting back from the knee surgical procedure that price him all the 2022 season and has not performed a full recreation since 2020. That led to a gradual method early in camp, however his workload has elevated and he flipped from left to proper sort out two weeks in the past and performed nicely there within the last two preseason video games. 

Xavier Gipson: The undrafted free agent from Stephen F. Austin might have earned a roster spot with the way in which he performed Saturday. Gipson had seven catches for 79 yards to complete off a powerful coaching camp.

Gipson is fast and reveals good capacity to run with the ball in his arms. He can also return kicks, one thing which will push him previous the opposite receivers on the bubble.

Inventory down

Max Mitchell: The second-year sort out was given each probability to win the beginning proper sort out spot and couldn’t do it. Mitchell regarded horrible in among the preseason video games and practices.

After taking part in fairly nicely as a rookie, he took a serious step again this summer season and the Jets must be frightened about the place his head is at. Mitchell will in all probability be on the workforce as a backup swing sort out, however the Jets can’t have a lot belief in him proper now.

Michael Carter: The third-year operating again had an underwhelming camp.

He acquired loads of carries with Breece Corridor lacking most of camp as he returns from ACL surgical procedure. Carter had some good moments, most notably in opposition to the Panthers, however total he was not spectacular.

He had one speeding yard on 4 carries in opposition to the Giants. Carter will doubtless be the third operating again behind Corridor and Dalvin Cook dinner, however will probably be fascinating to see how a lot he performs this yr. 

Bryce Corridor: A former starter, Corridor has change into a particular groups participant as time has gone on. You need to marvel if the Jets have seen sufficient of Corridor and determine to maintain another person at cornerback over him.

Corridor performed 41 snaps in opposition to the Giants, an indication he’s very a lot on the roster bubble.
