Jets Camp Surprises and Rising Stars | New York Jets News

Jets training camp wrapped with breakout performances across the board, led by second-overall pick David Bailey, who’s dominating pass rushes and run defense—earning top honors as the team’s best player. Adonai Mitchell, acquired in the Sauce Gardner trade, has become Geno Smith’s favorite target, proving he’s far more than a consolation prize. Mason Taylor turned his early struggles into reliable production, emerging as a top receiving option. Josh Myers silenced doubters with solid play on the offensive line, opening holes and protecting the QB. Dane Belton made a strong case for a starting safety role, excelling in coverage and run support. Second-year tackle Armand Membou is now giving Bailey fits in practice and is being hailed as the best offensive player so far. AZ Thomas showed enough growth to earn a Week 1 starting spot at cornerback. Even late addition Jelani Woods impressed with his blocking and catching. With multiple players stepping up, the Jets’ depth and talent look promising heading into the preseason finale—and possibly beyond.
