The Jets’ 2025 training camp is a downright critical one for WR Malachi Corley.<\/p>\n
Coming off a 5-12 season, change is a key part of the New York Jets<\/a>\u2018 offseason. With a new quarterback in town and a new head coach at the helm, things look different this summer.<\/p>\n With that transition in regime, several players from the previous one may be impacted. Training camp season is here, meaning everyone on the roster will have an opportunity to secure a spot. How many players are totally safe? The answer may surprise you, especially when considering recent Jets draft hauls.<\/p>\n In a training camp preview for The Athletic<\/a>, senior writer Zack Rosenblatt brought into question the likelihood of wide receiver Malachi Corley<\/a> making the team.<\/p>\n Rosenblatt: \u2018Nothing Is Guaranteed\u2019 for Malachi Corley<\/p>\n Rosenblatt cited Corley as someone in his \u201con the bubble\u201d category, which contains 34 players.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be a tough look if the Jets moved on from a third-round pick after one year, but this regime did not draft him, and it didn\u2019t hide its disappointment in his lack of availability during the spring,\u201d Rosenblatt wrote. \u201cCorley needs to show some maturity fast, stay on the field and make progress as a route runner while also contributing on special teams. The talent is obvious and he brings a unique skill set, but nothing is guaranteed for him.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a bumpy ride for Corley, to say the least. After breaking out at Western Kentucky in 2022 and 2023, New York moved up in last year\u2019s NFL Draft to select him. Unfortunately, the former Hilltoppers standout didn\u2019t parlay his yards after catch chops into real success.<\/p>\n As it turns out, Corley was more productive in the 2024 preseason than the regular season. He went from recording 7 receptions in three games to making 3 grabs for 16 yards in nine regular-season contests. Playing 83 offensive snaps last year, Corley amassed just 42 yards from scrimmage. Being limited by an injury earlier this offseason didn\u2019t help matters.<\/p>\n Corley\u2019s intentions for camp seem clear<\/a>. He wants to rebound this time around. As Rosenblatt said, however, he has some work to do.<\/p>\n Analyzing Jets\u2019 Wide Receiver Picture Entering 2025<\/p>\n Every conversation about the Jets\u2019 pass catchers has to start with Garrett Wilson<\/a>. He\u2019s one of the premier wideouts in the game and doesn\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to not have a 1,000-yard season. He\u2019s also committed to New York for the long haul, as evidenced by his lucrative contract extension<\/a>. Wilson sets the tone for the receiver room.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for the Jets, there isn\u2019t any high-end talent to complement Wilson. The NFL seems to know this<\/a>. The current projected No. 2 receiver on the depth chart is either Josh Reynolds<\/a> or Allen Lazard<\/a>, with the former seemingly holding the upper hand. Reynolds\u2019 best season to date came in 2023, when he had 40 catches, 608 yards and 5 scores with the Detroit Lions<\/a>. Lazard had 530 yards and 6 touchdowns a season ago, but Aaron Rodgers<\/a> is no longer under center. His stat line is expected to change.<\/p>\n Rosenblatt listed several other receivers as bubble candidates: Tyler Johnson<\/a>, Jamaal Pritchett<\/a>, Brandon Smith<\/a> and Quentin Skinner<\/a>. Johnson, who\u2019s raved about the environment<\/a> of the competitive wideout group, seems a bit closer to \u201croster lock\u201d rookie Arian Smith<\/a> than an undrafted free agent like the aforementioned three. Corley may find himself in that same boat.<\/p>\n Long story short: Corley stands a chance of year two being better than year one, but he has to make the team first.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJordan Foote<\/a> is a seasoned sports writer who covers the NFL for Heavy.com with an emphasis on the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.
