The Jets have made a move at the cornerback position, trading for Jarvis Brownlee. The deal reportedly involves a late round pick swap with the Tennessee Titans.
A fifth round pick out of Louisville a year ago, Brownlee became a rookie starter for the Titans.
Rookie stats from Music City Miracles:
Pro Football Focus credited Brownlee Jr. with allowing 55 receptions on 81 targets last season for a conversion-to-completion rate of 67.9 percent. Brownlee Jr. allowed 663 yards and four touchdowns. He was very competitive at the catch point, recording six pass breakups and one interception.
He was whistled for nine penalties, which represents an area of improvement for 2025.
Those coverage numbers are not great. Brownlee is also a tad undersized. You have to wonder whether that contributed to the high penalty count. Still, fifth round rookies usually don’t see the field much at all. Perhaps all the reps will be beneficial for his development, and he can help the Jets going forward. At least that will be the hope.
The Brandon Stephens signing has been a disaster for the Jets. Despite Brownlee’s early career inconsistency, it would not be a shock to see him step into the starting lineup in place of Stephens in the near future.
