First-round pick Kenyon Sadiq puts Jets up 7-0 in Tennessee

New York took an early 7-0 lead on the road against Tennessee, sparked immediately by its newest elite talent. The Jets entered the 2026 campaign holding three selections from the opening round of the draft, and a pair of those high-profile rookies made significant contributions right away.

First-round selection Kenyon Sadiq helped cap off the team's opening offensive series to secure the initial touchdown advantage. That opening drive relied heavily on the duo of top picks to set the pace in Tennessee.
