Aaron Glenn's Nap During Crucial Combine Moment Raises Eyebrows

During a significant moment at the combine, head coach Aaron Glenn appears to have been caught napping as a potential first-round draft pick was running the 40-yard dash. The incident was captured on camera and shows Glenn, startled and confused, waking up, which led to speculation about whether he was actually asleep or simply zoning out after a long day.

The day had been a lengthy one, filled with various measurements and assessments, and by the time the athletes were running, it was already late in the evening. While it's standard to give someone the benefit of the doubt considering the fatigue factors such as long working hours and time zone differences, Glenn's reaction—complete with the classic bewildered look of someone just waking up—seemed to clearly indicate he had fallen asleep.

This slip-up came on a day that was otherwise positive for the Jets, with successful player evaluations and a strategic trade with Tennessee that was commended by many. Yet, the incident with Glenn might overshadow these achievements, raising questions about focus and professionalism at critical times.

Furthermore, the footage captured by a cameraman, possibly a Patriots fan according to Carton, has sparked additional controversy and embarrassment for the Jets, particularly since the team had been making gradual strides towards improvement and competence under Woody Johnson's ownership, which has reportedly not been interfering with team management.
