Jets' Dark-Horse Trio Eye Final 53: McClain, Wilson, Womack
Three Jets under-the-radar players are making strong late pushes for the 53-man roster: WR Malik McClain, LB Chase Wilson, and CB Samuel Womack III. McClain has flashed as a deep threat with a high average depth of target and a top-tier special-teams grade, making him a leading candidate for the final WR spot amid a crowded room. Wilson has produced in the edge and coverage phases, offering a potential path to a linebacker role if injuries or roster moves shift the math. Womack has impressed with elite coverage, an impactful interception, and a compelling case to seize the last cornerback slot in a room that includes several veterans and draft picks. Overall, the Jets’ five WR and five CB locks tighten the final decisions, but McClain, Wilson, and Womack are positioned to capitalize on the remaining opportunities.
