The New York Jets face an intriguing competition at the safety position this offseason. The team signed New York native Andre Cisco to a one-year deal, and he is expected to secure one of the starting spots after receiving accolades from the coaching staff. The other starting position, however, is up for grabs, with Tony Adams being the likely favorite due to his experience, having started 11 games last season. Nevertheless, rookie Malachi Moore, a fourth-round draft pick, is pushing hard for the job. Moore, who played as a two-year captain at Alabama, has impressed with his versatility and physical play, even showcasing his skills by intercepting a pass during practice.

Moore's smaller stature at 6-foot, 182 pounds does not hinder him; instead, his aggressive style and high-effort tackling have gained attention. With solid stats from college, including 214 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 25 pass breakups, he brings substantial potential to the table. The Jets' coaching staff seems to recognize that both Adams and Moore can contribute to a revamped secondary, which could be crucial to the team's aspirations in the upcoming season.
