Jets LB Battle: Sherwood Davis and the Third Spot | New York Jets News

The Jets’ linebacker room is primed for change as camp kicks off, with Jamien Sherwood’s redemption arc, Demario Davis’ age-defying leadership, and Mykal Walker’s breakout bid for the third linebacker spot all hanging in the balance.

Walker, who stepped up when Sherwood faltered, now has a real shot at a starting role — and his camp performance could define his future. With McCrary-Ball and Mauigoa also in the mix, the Jets are chasing consistency, veteran grit, and a breakout — and the battle for that third spot is heating up.
