Once again, Breece Hall had a standout practice for the Jets. DJ Reed played well. He recorded an interception at the end of practice during the red zone work, which would have been a touchdown. Rookie Garrett Wilson showed some of his exciting ability in Saturday’s practice. His vertical jumping was on display on a few downfield passes. Also, he went low to make an impressive snag on a pass thrown over the middle.
