Even though the 2026 NFL calendar has yet to officially begin, the New York Jets are already off to a rough start. On Thursday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, head coach Aaron Glenn was caught-on-camera sleeping during the event.
After barely surviving his rookie season as the New York Jets head coach, the organization is giving Aaron Glenn a second chance this year. Based on his level of attentiveness at the NFL Combine, however, that may have been the wrong decision.
In his first season as the New York Jets head coach, Glenn — previously the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions — led the team to a 3-14 record, extending the franchise’s postseason drought to 15 years and counting.

The New York Jets have the second overall pick in this spring’s NFL Draft. Unfortunately for Gang Green, however, the 2026 NFL Draft appears to be a “one QB draft,” with that quarterback being Heisman trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to go #1 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders.
In addition to the 2nd overall pick, the Jets also have the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. At #2, possible picks the team could make include edge rusher David Bailey, safety Caleb Downs, and edge rusher Arvell Reese.
Despite their 15-year-long playoff drought, the longest such streak across ALL of America’s five major sports leagues — NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS — the Jets actually aren’t expected to finish bottom of the AFC East this year, as the Dolphins have longest odds than they do to win the division.
