Jets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
• At San Jose State, Dwight Lowery had 13 interceptions in two seasons. He had nine as a junior and four as a senior, as opponents started shying away from testing him. But at the NFL Combine in February, Lowery ran times of 4.54 and 4.7 in the 40-yard dash, and followed those up with a mild improvement at SJSU's Pro Day in March, clocking in at 4.52. So which of these sets of numbers are more important? Well, the fact that he fell to the fourth round, where the Jets selected him, suggests that most NFL observers paid more attention to Lowery's lack of raw speed, than his obvious ability to pick off the football. "I don't play to my 40 time," said Lowery, who signed with the Jets eight days before the beginning of training camp.
