The NFL’s All-Pro teams have been announced, and the New York Jets had two selections for the first team.
Even though the Jets were unable to make the playoffs this season, they can look at this accolade fondly, especially considering the age of both players that were selected.

Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner were both selected to the All-Pro first team.
Williams is in his fourth NFL season and has dominated the defensive tackle position when he has been at full health.
Gardner is an incredible talent and is a near lock to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Although he is just a rookie, the Jets have a player that is truly special, and who is sure to make an impact on their defense for years to come.
The Jets have a lot of questions to answer in the offseason, but none are as prominent as the quarterback position.
As of now, they will be rolling into 2023 with Zach Wilson as their quarterback, their second overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Wilson has severely underwhelmed expectations.
While the Jets have publically contended that they are sticking with Wilson, one has to wonder if they will sign a veteran, or look to the draft again to find their quarterback of the future.
With Gardner, Williams, and other young talents like Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Breece Hall, the Jets could be a scary team.
It appears that a lack of stability at the quarterback is one of, if not the only thing holding them back.
