Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston could be a name to watch for the New York Jets at the 2025 NFL draft.
As things stand, the Jets hold eight total picks scattered around the board, including the seventh overall pick.
If things hold true, general manager Darren Mougey and the Jets‘ front office will have plenty of options to consider when turning in their selection cards.
During the run up to the draft, which starts April 24, Jets Wire will compile information on prospects New York could have interest in. Specifically, what scouting reports and draft profiles say about their game.
Hairston is up next in our prospect previews. He had a pre-draft visit with the Jets according to NY Daily News’ Antwan V. Staley.

Been pounding the Maxwell Hairston to the Packers propaganda since February. Talked about him with @AndyHermanNFL on why he’d be a great early pick.
All it took was 5 extra pounds and now it’s a very serious conversation. Great deets from @McShay13pic.twitter.com/uojzf4UCki
