What happened: Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams expressed strong support for new offensive coordinator Frank Reich during the team's mandatory minicamp on Wednesday. Williams, a former undrafted free agent, highlighted the 'sense of confidence' Reich has instilled in the unit since his arrival in February. The veteran coach is implementing a receiver-friendly system that increasingly features Williams in slot roles and specific offensive packages.

Why it matters: The endorsement is significant for the Isaiah Williams who earned 2025 Curtis Martin Team MVP honors primarily as a return specialist. Reich’s historical preference for 11 personnel suggests a major uptick in offensive snaps for Williams as WR4. Following a 2025 season defined by special teams excellence, Williams is being prioritized as a foundational piece of the Jets' modernized 2026 offensive scheme.

What to watch: The Jets conclude mandatory minicamp on Thursday before breaking for the summer. Williams enters training camp in July as the projected primary slot receiver and return specialist.
