Confident cornerback D.J. Reed says the Jets can have a ‘historical’ defense this season

D.J. Reed has set an extremely high bar for the New York Jets’ defense.

And the veteran cornerback believes the talented group will leave its mark.

On the field. And in the history books.

“I’m very confident,” he said during a video call Monday. “I think we have the potential to be the best defense in the NFL. And honestly, I think we could be historical. Not just the best defense in the league, but I think we can have an historical defense in the league like the 85-86 Bears, like the L.O.B. 2013.”

Whoa.

That Chicago defense…
