Milestone Seasons Jets Players Can Achieve in 2024

When it comes to the Jets, there are a lot of franchise records that fall short of league-wide milestone seasons. The only league-wide achievement the Jets ever had was the single-season sack record, and that’s since been broken twice.

The Jets do have one of the major offensive league-wide milestones seasons, however (which will be seen later), and it’s something that came in a season that just fell short of the playoffs. If they can achieve one of the league’s milestone seasons in 2024, they hope it will come with a playoff berth this time.

So what are achievable milestones for the Jets in 2024? Let’s dive in.

Milestone Seasons Jets Players Can Achieve in 2024

Players with 2,000+ yards from scrimmage and 20+ TD

No player in Jets history has amassed either 2,000 scrimmage yards or 20 touchdowns in a single season. The team record for scrimmage yards is held by Curtis Martin, with 1,942 in 2004. In 2008, Thomas Jones set the single-season Jets record for touchdowns from scrimmage with 15.

Breece Hall has a good combination of breakaway speed and power that can help him join this list. Aaron Rodgers also loves to throw to running backs, and he’s the best option on passing downs for the group of backs.

Teammates with 1,000+ yards receiving and 10+ Touchdowns

Mike Williams and Garrett Wilson — with a healthy Williams — could be one of the best receiving duos in the NFL in 2024. With Williams’ ability as a downfield threat, Wilson’s all-around ability as a receiver, and the arm strength and accuracy of Rodgers, they could become the seventh duo in history to eclipse both in a single season. Additionally, the Jets could become the first team with two sets of teammates to achieve this feat. Eric Decker and Bradon Marshall set an NFL record in 2015, with eight games in which each had one touchdown.

4,000+ yards and 40+ TD passing in a season

In the history of the Jets only one quarterback (Joe Namath in 1967) has reached 4,000 yards, and only one quarterback (Ryan Fitzpatrick n 2015) has reach 30+ TD in a single season. In NFL history, only 10 different quarterbacks in 15 different seasons have reached both 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns in the same season.

The Jets have the weapons, and the right quarterback to have both milestones reached in 2024. If he were to accomplish this feat, Rodgers would break a tie with Tom Brady for most such occurrences in a career. They both currently have three.

The success for the Jets, like all NFL teams, but more for them, given their recent additions’ injury history, will come down to health. However, they’re more than capable of achieving one of those milestones. Time will tell whether or not they will, though.
