 The Jets' poor record in 1989 had given them the second pick in the draft; the team selected star Penn State running back Blair Thomas, who was expected to have a strong career with the Jets.Instead Thomas played on the team for four injury-plagued, unproductive years and was cut before the 1994 season began.Coslet's first season proved only slightly better than Joe Walton's last; the Jets finished 6–10.
