Overview

The Jets cornerback room is in an interesting place. On the outside, Brandon Stephens and AZ Thomas return as decent options with starting experience in Glenn's defense. Questions surround both players, however. Will Thomas take a step forward in his development? Will Stephens start to decline as he gets closer to 30? At Nickel, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. seemed to be a decent add last season but suffered a hip injury that kept him out the majority of the last half of 2025. Given the uncertainty and the talent at corner in the top 100 of this draft class, the Jets might invest here earlier than most would think.
