NY Jets: 4 players performing at an elite level so far in 2021

The NY Jets are a 1-3 team for a reason. Up until this past week against the Tennessee Titans, this is a team that had been playing some very, very bad football.

In fact, a handful of players on the Jets are currently performing among the best players at their respective positions. They're playing at an elite level.

The purpose of this article is not to be hyperbolic either. This isn't some click-bait, sensationalized story about a few Jets players who have exceeded expectations. Far from it.

Let's take a look at four Jets players who have legitimately been elite through Week 4.
