With a new quarterback coming in, the Jets know they have to take every avenue possible to ensuring he has success. Nothing is more important to that endeavor than good protection up front. New York is beginning to get older and a little light at the guard positions. Tackle is important too but the keys to a good pocket and teaching Kizer how to stand in it comes from the interior. So improving the talent and depth there is paramount. <p>Pitt just engineered one of the biggest upsets of the 2016 season over Clemson, and it was their offense that led the way. Adam Bisnowaty may be the big name that occupies that underrated offensive line of theirs, but Dorian Johnson is gaining some buzz of his own. Though not a premier athlete, he’s a scrappy player who exerts his physical will on defenders, especially in the ground game. Sounds like exactly the type of guy Jets fans would love.</p>. OG. Pitt. Dorian Johnson . 3. player. 30
