Josh Myers appears to be built of the right stuff. For starters, the Jets center has strong beliefs heading into his second year with his new team under head coach Aaron Glenn, and they haven't wavered despite the way this past season unfolded.

"We're disappointed with the way the whole thing went, not at all how we wanted it to go," Myers said earlier this month. "But I'm still encouraged, man. I believe in AG and everything he's preached. I've been around enough good leaders to know he's a great one and I trust that we're going to come back and have a great season nest year.

"I believe in the culture he's instilling and I really do think it leads directly to winning. On top of that, we still have a lot of positive things going on. We've got guys coming back, guys getting healthy, and then a lot of draft picks."

The health part wasn't an issue on Myers' offensive line this season, after Alijah Vera-Tucker's season-ending injury the week before the start of the season. It's been well-documented that the Jets had the NFL's only offensive line that started the same five players in every regular-season game. What's more, the Jets quintet participated in 99.2% of the line plays, the highest figure for a Jets OL dating at least to 2004, when play counts first became available.

"I don't know if I've ever been on a line that's done that," Myers said of his unit's virtually perfect attendance. "Yeah, it was cool, getting to play with those guys. It was fun to get to know them and play with them and now get the chance to play again next year."

Myers, who came to the Jets as an unrestricted free agent a year ago and signed a multiyear extension in December to remain with the team, will be a part of that group, whether it's the same five or gets slightly reorganized. (Alijah Vera-Tucker and G John Simpson can become free agents.)

And from his performance and durability, it's a good bet Myers will be in the man in the middle of the offense for most if not all of the plays in the new season. Last year, he was one of only five centers and one of just 13 NFL offensive linemen to play in 100% of his team's offensive snaps, according to overthecap.com.

And trumedia.com pegs his 4,053 offensive snaps from 2022-25 as No. 3 among all centers in the league, behind only Kansas City's Creed Humphrey and Cincinnati's Ted Karras.

Myers learned about availability among other things in his upbringing before he leaped into the upper-echelon football pool with four seasons at Ohio State and four more with Green Bay, beginning with his arrival as a' second-round pick in 2021. He started all but one game in 2022-24 and was a pivotal part of three Packers playoff teams.

"It's been really hard," he said of downshifting to the Jets' year of restructuring under Glenn and his staff. "But it's something my dad always used to say to me and I always fall back on. You've just got to control what you can control and who you are every day. So that's what I've been doing, just trying to be the best version of myself when I show up here every day and prepare as hard as I can. So that's what we do."

And after the short stay away from One Jets Drive, Myers is eager to get back into the mix , especially with his O-line that holds much promise, anchored by young bookend tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou — "They're both so talented and I have so much respect for them and their process" — as well as with his team that he's ready to go to battle with.

"We're not a group of people who are going to fold the tent and give in," he said. "We're going to fight till the bitter end."

The plan is for the bitter to quickly morph into the sublime in his second season in the middle of the Jets' action.
