By the time draft day rolled around, Armand Membou found himself at the top of the “preferred players to draft” list for many Jets fans. While critics pointed to a somewhat short track record of high-end performance, fans pointed to a sky high upside that was punctuated by some rather dominant play in his final college season.
Early on, it’s looking like the fans may have been onto something. To begin preseason, Membou has been drawing some positive reviews from the beat writers.
And in game 1, he gave further reason to believe as he excelled in pass protection and earned an unspectacular but respectable overall PFF grade.
By no means does any of this guarantee success when the games start to count, but it’s better than the alternative where he’s struggling day in and day out. As far as I can see there’s definitely reason for some cautious optimism based on the early returns. What do you think?
