June 24, 2022
Connor Hughes of The Athletic believes Sherwood's communication skills will help him secure a roster spot with the Jets in 2022.
ANALYSIS
Sherwood had just 14 tackles in five games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending Achilles tear, but Hughes believes the 2021 fifth-round pick out of Auburn will make the team out of camp as the backup to C.J. Mosley at middle linebacker. New York is enthralled with the converted safety's potential as a linebacker, and according to Hughes, Sherwood's communication skills make him an ideal "Mike" linebacker, as he can handle the responsibility of quarterbacking the defense.
