The New York Jets just returned from the 2026 NFL scouting combine. It provided general manager Darren Mougey, head coach Aaron Glenn, and the front-office staff with a tremendous opportunity to assess prospects in the 2026 NFL draft.
It was an especially notable event for the Jets, who own 11 total picks in the 2026 draft.
Every year, several deserving prospects get snubbed from receiving an NFL combine invite. The Jets apparently have plans to bring in one of the bigger snubs to East Rutherford for a top-30 visit.
Indiana running back Kaelon Black will visit the Jets on March 12th, according to the New York Post:
Black was the lead running back for the National Championship winning Indiana Hoosiers this past season. He absolutely deserved an invitation to compete in Indianapolis.
A six-year college prospect, Black’s age potentially prevented him from getting an invite. He broke out in 2025, rushing for 1,040 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Jets are have retained pending free agent running back Breece Hall at running back via the franchise tag this week.
In addition, running back Braelon Allen is also on the roster after suffering a season-ending injury last year. Black would probably be the No. 3 ball-carrier for the Jets.
Regardless, Mougey is spending time getting to know a big-time combine snub.
