All three of these battles are going to prove important during the season, and even if it seems like one player will win out in the preseason, don't be shocked to see the other players play rolls down the stretch.
Whether it's injury or performance, there will likely be an opening later on where someone will have to step up and be the guy to fill the hole, and the Jets are lucky to have the depth needed to fill those spots.
The first pre season game is against the Minnesota Wild, September 21st, at 8:00 PM at Canada Life Centre.
