Jets
Jets CB Brandon Stephens and S Minkah Fitzpatrick discussed their goal to achieve their first interception under HC Aaron Glenn, emphasizing the need to improve their performance. The Jets are considering adding a backup quarterback, with Cade Klubnik likely to compete for the role alongside potential veterans like Cooper Rush or Josh Dobbs. Additionally, the linebacker position may need reinforcement due to lackluster options behind Demario Davis. In the cornerback battle, Stephens and Nahshon Wright are expected to be starters, with D’Angelo Ponds also contributing in the slot.
Patriots
Patriots QB Mac Jones reflected on the impact of OC Josh McDaniels’ departure on his development, expressing that continuity could have benefited his growth. He noted the early signs of a challenging season during OTAs, feeling a lack of cohesion and support from his teammates. Jones acknowledged Bill Belichick’s authority in play-calling but felt uncertain about the team’s trajectory.
