The 2026 NFL Draft class and rest of the rookies for the New York Jets had their first taste of pro football over the weekend.
The Jets hosted their 2026 rookie minicamp which was the first opportunity for rookies to get a feel for NFL life. The team, their eight draft picks, and New York is still a long way from actual regular season football… but it’s a start.
The likes of top 2026 draft pick, edge David Bailey, down to UDFAs and other try-out players were on the field at One Jets Drive.
How’d workouts go down?
A collection of sights and sounds from rookie minicamp can be found below:

Jets rookie camp, Day 2: Some nice stuff from QB Cade Klubnik. Good short to intermediate accuracy. Throws a catchable ball. TE Kenyon Sadiq made two catches on intermediate-level routes, including a nice adjustment on a ball slightly behind him. He did have a drop on a short… pic.twitter.com/SsbdbjnBpF
