FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets added a physical element to their offense by drafting wide receiver Malachi Corley and running backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis last week. The three rookies don't mind contact. They welcome it and do all they can to punish would-be tacklers. Coach Robert Saleh loves that mindset and hopes the youngsters' physical approach is contagious and permeates the entire team. Corley is expected to be a complement to wide receivers Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams and Allen Lazard. Allen and Davis will bring a powerful presence to the backfield behind Breece Hall.
