Summary
The Jets’ secondary stunned in Week 1 as rookie Brandin Echols, stepping in for an injured starter, held his own against a top slot receiver, allowing just eight yards on four targets with zero penalties — a stark contrast to his inconsistent past. Brandon Stephens delivered a steady, disciplined performance, limiting opponents and forcing incompletions after a shaky debut season. Michael Thomas led the team in tackles while finishing second in coverage grade, proving he’s more than just a cornerback. With all three key players delivering under pressure, the Jets’ once-questioned defense showed flashes of elite potential early in the season.
