Ahead of the start of training camp, The Post’s Brian Costello looks at the top five Jets players to watch:
Justin Fields, QB
This is an easy one to start with. The Jets are banking on Fields becoming the latest former first-round pick quarterback to figure it out a few years into his career. We’ll get the early indications if he can do it in camp.
Jermaine Johnson, DE
A torn Achilles tendon in Week 2 ended Johnson’s 2024 season and the high hopes he carried with him. Johnson will likely begin camp on the PUP list. How quickly he comes off and how explosive he looks will be monitored closely.
Brandon Stephens, CB

The Jets gave Stephens a three-year, $36 million deal in March to replace D.J. Reed, shocking some NFL observers. There will be pressure on Stephens playing opposite Sauce Gardner.
