Jets 2018 Roster Countdown: Number 65 Dakoda Shepley Our Jets roster countdown now moves on to Dakoda Shipley.Name: Dakoda ShepleyNumber: 65Year with Jets: 1stProjected Role: Practice squad candidate as an offensive linemanHis 2017: Shepley played his college ball at the University of British Columbia Authentic Buster Skrine Jersey , a school not exactly known as a pipeline of NFL talent. Canadian football blog 3 Down Nation noted that he took home some honors during his college career.Shepley moved from guard to right tackle in that final college season. He worked out at the Eastern Michigan pro day and reportedly impressed NFL teams. Despite being a first round pick in the CFL Draft, he chose to come to America as the Jets offered him a contract as an undrafted free agent.2018 will be a success if: Shepley makes the practice squad and develops his game. I’ll admit that I don’t know a ton about Shepley’s game, but it probably wouldn’t be wise to expect much more. You generally are in trouble if your team needs to play a rookie undrafted offensive lineman from a Canadian college. This signing was about the future, not the present. The Jets will look to develop Shepley this year.Odds of making the roster:The Jets reportedly gave Shepley a $10 Youth Quincy Enunwa Jersey ,000 signing bonus, which is a nice chunk of change for an undrafted free agent. This suggests the team likes his potential. I think this gives him more of an inside track for the practice squad than the actual roster, though. I say he is a Longshot (less than 25%).Stephen A. Smith: Don’t Jinx Sam Darnold There’s a warm fuzzy feeling around the Jets rookie QB at the moment. After flashing excellent potential during the Jets first pre-season game, Darnold received high praise from Redskins cornerback Josh Norman and received the majority of first team reps during a practice this week. Jets fans were impressed http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-terrelle-pryor-sr.-jersey , the fans of opponents were impressed, but Stephen A. Smith doesn’t want to hear it. The outspoken personality always has something to say and his latest was hilarious to watch due to the animation:I always find it funny that media personalities don’t want fans to engage in conversations around their favourite team based on what’s happening at the moment. Stephen doesn’t want you to talk about what you see in the pre-season, or what you see in practices, but surely the media depend on our opinions and our conversations Jordan Jenkins Jersey , someone should remind Stephen it’s why he has a job in the first place. If you watched the pre-season game and didn’t want to come away talking about Sam Darnold, I don’t understand you. He showed poise, he showed pocket awareness, he showed accuracy and touch and an ability to throw on the run. He was playing with backups against backups Authentic James Carpenter Jersey , so I don’t want to hear competition level. He was working with what he had and it was the individual components that looked so promising rather than the results. Stephen A. doesn’t want to hear that positive atmosphere around the Jets at the moment. He’d rather we all sat around obsessing over what we haven’t done, rather than the path we’re on. However the hype train around Darnold is leaving the station and I’m firmly aboard, and I have to say...it’s started to look pretty crowded on here.
