Per Brian Costello, LaFleur says that Denzel Mims is in the best shape he has ever seen him in. Also said that Mims is much more confident in the offense.
Mike LaFleur notes how Zach Wilson’s mindset and expectations have changed for the better from year one to year two.
Per Rich Cimini, Garrett Wilson shows impressive body control on a pass thrown behind him. Mehki Becton is at minicamp! Not wearing any braces or sleeves on repaired knee. Jets have a plan for the LT and RT situation with Fant and Becton, but wont reveal it.
Per DJ Bien-Aime II, Corey Davis acted as Zach Wilson’s security blanket. The defense struggled, but it is hard to evaluate them without full pads.
Injury Report:
Per Rich Cimini, Here are the players who were hanging in rehab/trainer area: Uzomah, Reed, Ruckert, Sherwood, Lawson, Fant, and Becton
Rookie Spotlight:
Fourth overall pick Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner had a nice interception in drills.
Per Rich Cimini, Breece Hall looked smooth on passes out of the backfield. Garrett Wilson’s catching ability impressed.

Zach Wilson: Per Connor Hughes, Zach Wilson is 13 of 16 in 7-on-7 drills after going 10-13 in 11-on-11.
Jet Highlight:
Something to get you pumped for the upcoming season.
Zach Wilson’s best play from his rookie season. This throw symbolizes everything we expect from Wilson. The ability to extend plays with his feet and throw the deep ball accurately.
