The Oklahoma Sooners defense has become the identity of the football team ahead of their first SEC battle this Saturday nig

The New York Jets delivered on their offseason pedigree this past Sunday, defeating the Tennessee Titans 24-17. As you might guess, this means that quite a few members of the New York Jets played well. Which players did PFF view as being among their best in the victory? On offense, the top 5 graded players were as follows based on overall grade: Center Joe Tippmann: 83.6 (57 snaps) Left tackle Tyron Smith: 80.8 (57 snaps) Wide receiver Garrett Wilson: 74.4 (55 snaps) Right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker: 72.5 (57 snaps) Running back Breece Hall: 72.0 (41 snaps) On defense, the top 5 graded players were as follows based on overall grade: Inside linebacker Jamien Sherwood: 82.7 (54 snaps) Slot cornerback Michael Carter II: 77.3 (30 snaps) Inside linebacker C.J. Mosley: 75.4 (16 snaps) Cornerback Brandin Echols: 73.3 (66 snaps) Safety Tony Adams: 70.3 (66 snaps) Perhaps most notable is the play of Jamien Sherwood, who filled in following C.J. Mosley’s injury. This not only has relevance for this season if Mosley (or Quincy Williams) were to miss time, but also sets the Jets up to potentially have a long-term successor at inside linebacker as Mosley ages. Similarly, Brandin Echols did a great job filling in for the injured D.J. Reed, potentially providing a successor at cornerback as well if the Jets decide to move on from Reed to save some cap space.
