I like how he takes his time and thinks before answering each question.
@Isaac Chavez I did actually
Very aaron judge like
@Isaac Chavez bless your heart
@ProlificFlare That’s exactly who popped in my head when I saw him do that.
Very calming, it was great lol
He’s going to surprise ALOT of people. Dudes a physical specimen and plays with fire. We haven’t had that in years. Now all of a sudden we are a team full of it. Can’t wait for this season
I’m very impressed with this young man. Methodical thinker.
Exactly!
Indeed
I love the fact that he sits for second, and really thinks about his answer. I was a little skeptical about the pick, but this young man is the real deal!
Yo man we really got some humble draft picks and I couldn’t be happier to have such well mannered players join the Jets..
I agree, he’s seen his share of adversity and has matured from it. Seems he has a strong foundation to build upon, hope he puts fears in opposing QBs wearing green and white for many years to come
I love how he thinks before he speaks… he gives a real answer not just what people want to hear. I see why JD and Saleh drafted him
I came here from my Google feed to say EXACTLY that. He considers whether each question has any front page making ramifications and those questions he answered VERY diplomatically. Either he is smart, or he has been made aware the pitfalls of answering “the wrong way.”
Very impressed!
I wish more people did this, think before they just blurt cliches or standardized answers. I do it often just because I’ve never been really quick with recollection but..
Was gonna comment the same thing, a wise man
Agreed on all responses. Very unique – and impressed. At first – you wonder. And then he responds clearly and articulately with well thought out answers
Facts
I’m a little upset. JD and Coach Salah never said we drafted the second coming of Deacon Jones. I love this guy!!!
Great comparison I was thinking james Harrison lol
I was thinking more like Thanos
@Arkham Knight I’ll allow that.
This dude is so calm and jacked it’s almost terrifying
I like his demeanor. As a player this guy is different I’m telling you.
Not only physical and violent but instinctive.
I think we got a gem. He plays with an attitude and high motor. I like the pick.
Clemons sounds like a Villain, I love his voice, he plays like one too. I love how he handled the beat reporter turds and their simpleton questions. He will make a Major Impact, wait and see.
My guy sounds like Marcellus Wallace.
This MAN is a DEEP thinker and that type of insight he’s giving to us all is a good start to show his character off/on the field.
@KC Smooth 😂
Definitely a deep thinker
Intelligent , articulate young man, with a great smile, beautiful smile..Jets are fortunate to be able Draft Michael. Excitement
Very very enlightening. Love this guy already.
@Column Wheel Rooting for him already, love this Draft Class
This dude gonna be a problem for the rest of the league trust me he’s poised like a vet the Jets struck gold with MC Hammer!
I like it!!
Understand why he was a Captain at A&M, he will become a Captain with the Jets.
That was 1000 times better than what I thought it would be! He’s going to be fun to watch.
In his draft interview I thought he was a serial killer bruh. Completely blank white walls and I don’t remember if he ever blinked. I’m starting to like him more tho
Like I told several people Clemens is a special talent he’s going to take us to the promised land he will be a big piece
I really feel bad for the tackle who’s assigned to stopping him. This kids a beast! He thinks before he speaks, good sign of a man who takes his career seriously.
Great point
I doubt Mike will ever see this but my name is Galen. I was a walk-on o-lineman for Texas A&M for the past 4 years from 2018-2021. For 2 out of the three years mike was active I was his scout team left tackle. So we’d go against each other about 4 days a week during the season. He’s a heck of a guy. Not only physically but he matured a lot in the 4 years I knew him. Natural born leader, has his head on straight and is always looking to make himself better. You guys drafted one hell of a man and I wish him the best 👍🏻
@Galen Gallagher Good to hear from a fellow player. Is he as scary on the field as he looks?
Yeah he had that demeanor. And it wasn’t just for show either. And he was a massive guy, I was 6’ 4” and had to I had to physically look up to him. Best thing about him was that every time you faced him you knew you were getting his best. I sure felt it 😅. But it didn’t matter how late it was in practice or who he was going against he was getting a full rep. He used to get mad at the other scout team guys cause they were half-assing reps and weren’t giving him a good enough look. Had a lot of respect in the locker room as well. He’s good at keeping his composure and keeping his head on straight on and off the field
@Galen Gallagher Awesome! Thanks for the inside info. I’m a lifelong Jet fan who never played (except pick up games in the park as a kid with my fake Jet helmet). I’m only just now (in my 50s!) learning more about the ins & outs of the game. Watching stuff like Last Chance U is really informative. Tough game. Even for those who don’t go pro. You still playing? USFL, Canada? Arena? HA! So many options. Or are you just a fan like the rest of us now?
Praying for him to succeed. Seems humble 🙏🏼
The way he paused to take a moment to consider what was at the heart of some of those poorly worded/poorly considered questions and then thoughtfully answer what the reporters were trying to get at with their question was really impressive. I can’t wait to see what he brings to the Jets! Good luck, Mr. Clemons!
When he rotates in, he’s going to smash people. I like that. Our Edges are pretty well sown up. Great job by Joe DExpect big things from Q1 and JFM as well
It also gives insight into how he plays. Methodical. Takes a moment to pause and think out a play. You combine the instincts, the smarts, the physical makeup, the controlled aggression and you have a potential weapon of mass destruction.
Heartbreaking he was a lone when he was drafted, but he has a family in the New york football Jets who will support him
He has a very good support system and a family who has always supported him. This was his choice. Nothing more Nothing less
“You make a guy quickly respect when you hit him in the mouth over and over again” god I love this quote
He is officially my favorite JET. Didn’t know much about him, but after this interview? Yeah; you have to respect this guy. He’s smart and listens and thinks before answering. That’s a sign of intelligence. So happy he’s on our team.
