While their 3-9 record might suggest otherwise, the 2025 New York Jets<\/a> are in a much better spot now compared to last year. There are still growing pains, but rookie head coach Aaron Glenn has seemed to turn a corner. Through the last five weeks, the Jets have gone 3-2. The decision to switch from Justin Fields to Tyrod Taylor proved the right move at quarterback. Along with the early returns on new wide receivers John Metchie<\/a> and Adonai Mitchell<\/a>. However, it’s the offensive line that deserves a lot of credit. Specifically, the success shown by rookie right tackle Armand Membou<\/a>. One year after drafting left tackle Olu Fashanu, the seventh overall pick in this year’s draft, has turned heads. Such a performance could earn some All-Rookie first team votes<\/a> from his season thus far.<\/p>\n

Jets Right Tackle Earning All-Rookie Praise<\/h2>\n

Entering the 2025 NFL season, general manager Darren Mougey wanted to make right tackle a priority. Before he arrived in New York, he recognized New York had a nice nucleus of an offensive line. While injury issues persist, Alijah Vera-Tucker has been regarded as one of the better right guards in the league. While Vera-Tucker was injured, center turned right guard Joe Tippmann has been doing an outstanding job. Next to him, he’s joined by two veterans in the interior between left guard John Simpson and center Josh Myers. After trading out of the top 10, Olu Fashanu is proving his potential at left tackle. The Jets needed one more piece to complete the puzzle, and they lucked out with Armand Membou.<\/p>\n
