Darron Lee working with Jets' first-team
New York Jets first-round inside linebacker Darron Lee has begun getting snaps with the first-team defense.
What It Means:
Lee has been rotating in on both the strong and weak sides. At the very least, the 21-year-old rookie should replace coverage-averse veteran Erin Henderson in sub-packages this season.
The Jets' defense finished 2015 ranked sixth in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play. Our algorithms project Henderson for 84.75 tackles this season, but little in the way of coverage statistics (i.e. interceptions, passes defended). This should be Lee's territory sooner, rather than later.
