New York Jets: JetUp Bleeding Green Podcast, Impact players part 5

New York Jets defensive end Leonard Williams will make a huge impact in 2018. However, it won’t be in the way most people think.

In today’s sports landscape, most people go to the box score to judge a player’s impact on the game. However, the stat sheet usually doesn’t tell the whole story on an individual’s impact on the game. Players can affect games by attracting attention from the opposing team, thus allowing other players to show up in the box score.

When you watch the New York Jets in 2018, you won’t see the stat sheet stuffing you expect from Leonard Williams. That said, his impact will be felt.

In the final installment of Impact Players, Michael will tell you where the impact will be felt. He will also tell you how the impact will be major and impact the growth of several young players around him.
