Lucky Pick for Jets

The New York Jets are known for their prized defense but the Jets' defensive line is getting old and are in need of an upgrade. With only one experienced player under the age of 30, fresh talented defensive players are very much needed. To their astonishment, Muhammed Wilkerson from Temple University fell right into their hands. Being potential top 20 talents in this draft, and prime fit for their 3-4 defensive line, the Jets made sure to not let this valuable player pass. At 6'4 and 315 pounds, Wilkerson will be able to work with his position in the NFL.

Wilkerson was not always a football player, but also played high school basketball. Back when there were weight restrictions in football, he played center on back-to-back state basketball title teams at Linden High where he his developed speed and agility. By the time he had left Linden, Wilkerson started playing football and dominated with 17 1/2 sacks in three seasons at Temple. Wilkerson probably won't start, but he will be in the defensive-line rotation and intime, will be able to be properly included into the line.
