Washington Commanders quarterback Jaylen Daniels and his reserves enjoyed challenging New York Jets defensive back Jarrick Bernard Converse this past weekend.
The Commanders likely thought they would have an offensive field day with the Jets’ reserves. Instead, Washington discovered that Jets’ defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has addition personnel to wreak havoc on opposing offenses this upcoming season.
Moreover, Bernard-Converse was actually lining up versus the Commanders No. 1 quarterback, and top wide receivers in their week 1 preseason match-up. Perhaps Bernard-Converse might occupy the No. 3 slot of the Jets’ defensive back depth chart this fall. If so, he may recieve more target throws with opposing quarterbacks fearful of Sauce Gardner and D.J Reed.
Fans should keep a close eye on Bernard-Congress throughout training camp, he may be destined to secure a spot as the slot corner in nickel personnel. Ultimately, Benrard-Converse showed a multifaceted skill set including closing-speed, open field tackling, and durability in NFL Preseason Week 1.
