The New York Jets used a third-round pick just a year ago on Malachi Corley.
But he’s not a given to make the roster this season.
The Athletic’s Zach Rosenblatt writes that Corley is on the bubble.
Here’s the thinking from Rosenblatt:
“It would be a tough look if the Jets moved on from a third-round pick after one year, but this regime did not draft him, and it didn’t hide its disappointment in his lack of availability during the spring. Corley needs to show some maturity fast, stay on the field and make progress as a route runner while also contributing on special teams. The talent is obvious and he brings a unique skill set, but nothing is guaranteed for him.”

Corley had only three catches as a rookie.
He also spent a few games inactive despite being healthy.
It’s clear that Corley has some effort to put in to move into good graces with the Jets. He better get to work.
