The 23-year-old Alijah Vera-Tucker has become a rock at guard for the Jets in his two seasons since being drafted out of USC.
It’s not breaking news that the tackle position for the Jets has been a black hole this season. Mekhi Becton was lost for the season to a knee injury in training camp. Free agent signee Duane Brown injured his shoulder before the season opener. George Fant went onto injured reserve with a knee injury. And now rookie right tackle Max Mitchell is out with a knee injury sustained Sunday in Pittsburgh.
“ ‘AVT’ kind of carries himself like he’s been in this league for five years already,’’ Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said Thursday. “I’m not an offensive lineman, but I know the game — and that’s special,’’ running back Michael Carter told The Post of the Vera-Tucker position switch. “What a special talent Alijah is. I can take every good thing I’ve ever said about anyone and direct it toward him and it still wouldn’t be enough. He’s a special player and a special person and the discipline he carries from day-to-day is unheard of and unmatched.
