The Jets know they need to protect quarterback Sam Darnold this year, and one of the men who could be part of that solution now has a contract.
The Jets announced that third-rounder Chuma Edoga had signed his four-year rookie deal.
The tackle from Southern Cal started 25 games over four seasons in college, including 12 in 2017 when Darnold was his quarterback.
“I blocked for Sammy D in college,” Edoga said, via the team website, “and to block for him in the NFL, it’s a blessing, a dream come true.”
The signing leaves the Jets with just one unsigned pick — first-rounder Quinnen Williams.
There are only 14 unsigned picks league-wide now.
