Well, no s**t the Jets didn't think he would get manhandled. If they thought that and still drafted him at 15, they would be idiots. I was giving MY opinion. And I'm fully admitting that I might have been wrong. I would have used a 2nd or later round pick on him though, so it's not like I didn't think he'd be successful. I just fully have to admit that I thought the Jets reached a little bit.
The only reason I said I "possibly" might have been wrong is because I'm going to wait and see how he does in the regular season. I'm sure he'll be just as impressive, but the preseason is far different from the regular season.
I'm rooting big time for him... like all former Cyclones. Hope he dominates!
The Jets were a perfect destination for Will. They have all kinds of D-Line depth where he can focus on just getting up the field. I do think he could get manhandled some if he's expected to play the run. But with their depth, I think he can specialize in pass rushing, and when I think if he transitions more to a 3 down guy they can get creative in where they put him with his athleticism.
