Jets Special Teams Battle for Kicking Role | New York Jets News

The Jets’ special teams are heating up for 2026 camp, riding the momentum from last year’s elite performance—ranked fourth by PFF with top-tier DVOA, led by explosive returns from Isaiah Williams and Kene Nwangwu, and solid punting from rookie Austin McNamara. With veteran kicker Nick Folk gone, the spotlight turns to the battle between Jason Sanders (Pro Bowler, Miami’s all-time leader) and Cade York (flashing potential in Cleveland). Coach Aaron Glenn loves the competition—it pushes everyone to be better. McNamara, already a punting standout with a franchise record net average, is poised for even more growth. The stage is set for a high-stakes, high-energy special teams showdown. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
