Jets' Jaylen Key: Joins New York as final pick

The Jets selected Key in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 257th overall.

The final pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, Key was a three-star recruit all the way back in 2018, playing five seasons with UAB before transferring to Alabama for his final collegiate campaign. A solid athlete with an unspectacular frame (6-foot-1), Key will have an opportunity to be a special teams ace for the Jets immediately off the rip and could carve out a role as a depth safety in due time.
