Will McDonald IV Adds Weight in the Offseason

According to New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, defensive end Will McDonald IV put on some weight during the offseason. Even better, he hasn't lost any speed. "He's a dynamic athlete for a guy of his stature," Glenn said recently during OTAs. "I think he's like 6-foot-4, 240 [pounds]. He actually weighed in more than that because he's gained about 15 pounds." The 26-year-old had a relatively quiet rookie campaign, but it was a different story last season, with McDonald finishing the year with a team-high 10.5 sacks. New York has some work to do to turn things around on both sides of the ball. However, with the team adding former Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, the Jets defensive line could give teams some trouble throughout the season.

Will McDonald Worth Monitoring After Thursday

New York Jets defensive lineman Will McDonald (leg) left the game on Thursday but eventually returned after a non-contact injury to his leg. He was helped off of the field in the second quarter but later returned in the second half. Ian Rapoport has reported that McDonald seemed to have avoided a major injury but is worth monitoring in case the team finds any issues leading up to their Week 10 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Will McDonald IV Projects As Situational Pass-Rusher

New York Jets rookie defensive end Will McDonald IV, who was taken with the 15th overall pick in this year's NFL draft, will need to prove that he's big and strong enough to be a quality edge rusher in training camp this summer at 240 pounds. McDonald showed the speed and agility in non-contact offseason practices that prompted the Jets to take him this high in the first round. Defensive end Solomon Thomas said McDonald has "the super rare ability to bend on a dime." The 24-year-old projects to be a pass-rushing specialist for the Jets in his first NFL campaign as part of a deep defensive-end rotation. McDonald will help a Jets defense that is quickly becoming one of the best in the league.

Jets Pick Will McDonald IV In 2023 NFL Draft

The Jets selected Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald IV with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. New York selected Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson II in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, so the team added another young up-and-coming prospect on Thursday night. The 23-year-old totaled 125 tackles during his collegiate career. Even better, he had 34 sacks. Undoubtedly, his presence will enhance an already potent Jets defense, and his services could prove helpful for IDP dynasty managers.
