Jets guard Willie Colon is entering his 10th year in the NFL. He has won a Super Bowl, dealt with injuries, watched the team that drafted him cut him loose and spent two eventful seasons in New York.

There’s not much the Bronx native has not seen in the NFL.

Now, the 32-year-old is fighting for a job again. Colon is one of four players competing for the starting right guard spot, the position Colon has occupied for the past two seasons.

“As far as me fighting for a job, I’ve always had that mentality,” Colon said. “I wish I could say it’s changed or I ever got comfortable, but I’ve been in so many competition battles it’s my innate nature that I’ve got to always go out there and prove something. It’s a long camp and every day is going to be evaluated. I’ve just got to stay on my game and never relax. The cards are going to fall where they may.”

The last time Colon was fighting for a job was in Pittsburgh, where he battled Max Starks for the right tackle spot in 2007. Colon re-signed with the Jets in March, knowing he would have to compete for the starting job. He sees it as a positive sign of greater depth on the offensive line. Third-year players Brian Winters and Oday Aboushi are competing with Colon along with Brent Qvale, a second-year player.

“I’ve seen each and every guy in the room step their game up,” Colon said. “Winters is playing at a high level. Oday is playing at a high level. Brent is I think the most impressive to me, from his first year to his second year he’s starting to look like a legit pro. The addition of [left guard James Carpenter], he’s everything everyone talked about. He’s legit. He’s physical. He gets after it. He’s good to have.”

Jets coach Todd Bowles did not sound overly impressed when someone pointed out quarterbacks Geno Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick have not thrown an interception during team drills yet.

“[The defense is] not really pressing them,” Bowles said. “We’re working on a lot of things as it goes forward. You still want to get your hands on the ball, they come in bunches. We don’t worry about that. Two days of pads, you just worry about getting the calls right and the technique down. I think that was the tone.”
