The New York Jets are no strangers to drama, and head coach Aaron Glenn added another chapter at the NFL Combine. Glenn, who had a rough start with a 3-14 record in his first year, was caught in a moment of unintended relaxation during the event. As edge rusher David Bailey was gearing up for his 40-yard dash, cameras caught Glenn appearing to doze off in the stands.
Now, whether Glenn was actually napping or just looking down at a screen, the image quickly became fodder for social media banter. Comments ranged from jabs at the Jets' organizational woes to playful critiques of Glenn’s apparent snooze.
But Glenn’s sleepy moment was just part of a day filled with frustration for Jets fans. The team also made headlines by agreeing to trade defensive end Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans. This move stirred emotions, as Johnson was a first-round pick back in 2022 and had shown promise before an Achilles injury in 2024.
Johnson, who logged 10 sacks in his first two seasons and added 43 tackles with three sacks last year, will reunite with former Jets head coach Robert Saleh in Tennessee. While the trade has been agreed upon, it won’t be official until the new league year kicks off on March 11.
For Glenn and the Jets, this offseason is shaping up to be a pivotal one. With a 15-year playoff drought hanging over their heads, the pressure is on to turn things around. Whether Glenn’s moment at the Combine was a brief lapse or a symbol of broader challenges, the Jets have plenty to address as they look to reshape their future.
