ESPN’s Rich Cimini believes Ohio State LB Arvell Reese is “the best fit” for the Jets at No. 2 overall.

05 April 2026

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said he looks at Ohio State LB Arvell Reese the way he looks at Texans EDGE Danielle Hunter. “I look at [Reese] the same way. Man, it’s a combination of the traits and this combination of the football character again. Is that player coachable enough to be able to do the things that you want him to do to be successful?” Glenn asked rhetorically. The headline of this piece is “Jets leaning towards LB Arvell Reese with second overall pick,” but we wouldn’t say it quite hits that level of dedication. Still, it makes plenty of sense for the Jets to wind up at that conclusion. Cimini also noted that Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey and Ohio State LB Sonny Styles figure to draw consideration at No. 2 overall.
