Jets Roster Analysis: Can Buster Skrine Handle Being the Second Corner?

As we approach the 2016 season, we are going to profile the players on the roster. Today we look at Buster Skrine.

Name: Buster Skrine

Number: 41

Year With Jets: 2nd training camp

Projected Role: Number two corner sliding into the slot when the Jets have three corners on the field

His 2015: The Jets signed Skrine as part of their secondary overhaul. He got off to a fast start, looking like the type of tackler and cover guy a slot corner should be. His play tailed off after the first few weeks, and he was beaten in coverage more. With Antonio Cromartie's departure, Skrine will take on a bigger role this season.

2016 will be a success if: Skrine looks capable as a second banana. With quarterbacks generally avoiding Darrelle Revis on the other side, the second corner is likely to see a lot of action. Skrine did have some success in this role in Cleveland opposite Joe Haden.

Odds of making the roster: Lock (>99%)
