Winner: Calvin Pryor – After missing the first preseason game to an injury, Jets 1st-round draft pick Calvin Pryor made his debut for the Jets second-team defense and made a huge impact, compiling a team-high six tackles and a fumble recovery as well as 2 passes defended – one on the line of scrimmage. For a defensive unit that has struggled on the first-team, Pryor looks like he might be ready not only for the starting job, but to become a real NFL star.
Losers: Jadeveon Clowney’s Opposing Offenses – After Clowney replicated his South Carolina playmaking ability by dismantling the Falcons’ offense on two consecutive plays, Jadeveon Clowney has put the rest of the NFL on notice: He was drafted No. 1 overall because he is one of the highest-motor, big impact players that the NFL has seen in years.
