The New York Jets were the only team in the NFL to trot out the same offensive line combination for all 17 games in the 2025 season.

For an organization that has long lacked stability at the position, it was an impressive feat.

Now, entering 2026, Gang Green’s offensive line is looking to maintain that level of health and take another step in production to firmly establish itself as one of the league’s most promising groups.

To accomplish that, though, they will need to stay healthy. The feat they achieved last year should not be taken for granted.

How lucky did the Jets get by having that level of health throughout the season?

Will the Jets’ OL luck carry into 2026?

As our own Michael Nania touched on in a recent column, there is a good chance the Jets won’t have all five starters healthy for all 17 games this season.

Given that, the Jets’ OL depth should be viewed as a very important part of their roster. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been critical of them for not upgrading their interior depth.

If Joe Tippmann or Dylan Parham were to miss significant time throughout the course of the season, the Jets would experience a steeper drop-off than most teams.

The Jets’ four current interior backups are Xavier Newman, Anez Cooper, Landon Young, and Kohl Levao.

Young (12 starts) and Newman (5 starts) are the only members of that group with starting experience in the regular season, and neither player performed well when called upon.

From 2021-24 with the New Orleans Saints, Young played 884 snaps, allowing 8 sacks, 3 hits, 22 hurries, and 33 total pressures (504 pass-blocking snaps), while committing 5 penalties.

Throughout his career, Young has an overall grade of 48.3, a run-blocking grade of 57.3, and a pass-blocking grade of 35.5 from Pro Football Focus.

As for Newman, he has allowed 4 sacks, 4 hits, 10 hurries, and 18 total pressures in just 338 snaps (217 pass-blocking snaps). His career overall grade from PFF is 47.6, including 58.6 in run-blocking and 32.8 in pass-blocking.

Meanwhile, Cooper is a rookie sixth-round pick, while Levao is 28 years old and has yet to play a regular season snap.

The Jets’ tackle depth is a little more promising, as Chukwuma Okorafor and Max Mitchell at least have plenty of starting experience, although they have each been shaky as starters for the most part.

It is clear that the Jets should be looking at the waiver wire following cutdown day to beef up their overall offensive line depth. As solid as the offensive line looked in 2025, its perfect health was a rarity that will probably not be replicated in 2026. Their depth will be tested more than it was a year ago.

Overall, the Jets’ offensive line depth should be a legitimate concern as training camp begins. Perhaps someone emerges and surprises us, but right now, no tangible evidence proves that the Jets’ OL depth is encouraging.
