Josh Reynolds of the Jets outperforms Sauce Gardner during training camp with an impressive catch
In the ongoing training camp of the New York Jets, a new element has been introduced - a 1-on-1 tackling drill, spearheaded by defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. This innovative drill made its debut on Saturday, aiming to enhance the team's tackling skills.
During individual drills, running back Breece Hall showed a moment of struggle, dropping a pass. However, he also had a fumble during team drills, which could be a learning opportunity for the young athlete.
Quarterback Justin Fields, who recently suffered a dislocated toe, is being carefully managed by the coaching staff. He participated in individual drills and 7-on-7s, but was held back from full 11-on-11s, as the team is "trying to ease" him back into full participation, according to Glenn.
The training camp also saw some exciting moments. Wide receiver Sauce Gardner was involved in a pass attempt during team drills, and he stood out in a 1-on-1 drill, managing to outmanoeuvre Garrett Wilson, prompting a big celebration from his defensive teammates.
On a positive note, Josh Reynolds caught a deep ball down the left sideline during team drills, demonstrating his potential as a reliable receiver for the Jets.
As the training camp continues, these highlights provide a glimpse into the team's progress and areas for improvement, as they prepare for the upcoming season.
