Jets Acquire Jarvis Brownlee Jr.

The New York Jets acquired Tennessee cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. ahead of their Week 4 Monday Night matchup in a trade that also swapped 2026 sixth- and seventh-round picks. Brownlee, a 2024 fifth-round pick who is recovering from an ankle injury, could relieve struggling starter Brandon Stephens in a secondary that already features Sauce Gardner and Michael Carter II. He totaled 75 tackles as a rookie and 17 tackles in two games this season; analytics show he allows about 1.0 yards per coverage snap and grades well as a run defender, making the in-season pickup a low-risk, potentially impactful move. In high school football, Aquinas junior RB Champ Brown (“Baby Zeke”) has rushed for 498 yards on 50 carries with nine touchdowns this season and draws attention for a compact, powerful 5'6", 185-lb downhill running style. On the recruiting trail, Vanderbilt landed four-star guard Anthony Brown (No. 70), one of three recent four-star pledges for the program, while Michigan still lists linebacker as a need with Markel Dabney the lone committed LB and staff continuing to pursue Georgia Top247 target Nick Abrams, who plans another visit for the Wisconsin game.
