Heading into the 2025 season, the Jets have revamped their defensive tackle position, featuring starters Quinnen Williams and Derrick Nnadi, backed by Jay Tufele, Byron Cowart, and Leonard Taylor. While Williams remains a dominant force, the team faces concerns over run defense after a previous season of struggles, relying on new veterans to step up. The competition among Tufele, Nnadi, and Cowart for the starting role alongside Williams will be pivotal, as the unit’s overall success hinges on Williams’ performance and health throughout the season.
