But you are wrong in this case..As I stated Gates was a predraft vistor to the Jets, which usually means they like him..Notice their first three selections were Wilk, Ellis and Powell....
With less than two weeks before the NFL draft, the Jets have brought 25 prospects for visits to their Florham Park facility, according to team announcements. Of the two dozen, 16 are defensive players, an indication this could be a defensive-minded draft -- which, of course, would shock no one.
More visitors could be on the way. Each team is allowed 30 non-local visits.
UPDATE: DT
