With the exhibition play nearing, the Jets have moved up one spot in Touchdown Wire’s preseason power rankings.

New York jumped from No. 28 before training camp to No. 27 on the list after a few days of practice. Unsurprisingly, this ranks fourth in the AFC East behind the Bills (3rd), Patriots (11th) and the Dolphins (12th).

Not much has changed for Gang Green since training camp started, but the team has looked solid at certain positions, including receiver and pass rush. Elijah Moore and Corey Davis both look like great new receiving options for the Jets, while Carl Lawson has been a terror on the edge against a much-improved offensive line. Zach Wilson continues to have a good, albeit inconsistent, training camp thus far, though that’s to be expected for a rookie learning a new system.

After a 2-14 showing in 2020, it’s hard to have faith in the Jets’ significantly improving until they can prove it on the field. They’ll have their first opportunity to do so on August 13 against the Giants in the team’s first preseason game since 2019.
