What happened: Isaiah Williams is training with Olympic track coaches this offseason to enhance his top-end speed. The wide receiver aims to translate his elite return ability into a larger role in the New York passing attack.

Why it matters: Williams' development as a vertical threat is critical for a New York offense looking to diversify its play-calling in 2026. After earning Team MVP honors for his special teams play, his transition to a consistent receiving option could elevate the Jets' scoring ceiling.

By the numbers: 2025 Stats: 26 receptions, 193 yards; 28 punt returns, 14.1 avg, 2 TD; 28 kick returns, 29.9 avg. Awarded 2025 Curtis Martin Team MVP.

What to watch: Williams will look to demonstrate his improved acceleration when Jets training camp opens in late July.
