QB Paxton Lynch set for pre-draft visit to Jets

The New York Jets, they of the unsettled quarterback situation, are doing their homework on one of the top passers in the upcoming draft.

Former Memphis star Paxton Lynch is scheduled to take a pre-draft visit to the Jets, according to the NFL Network.

What makes the Lynch-Jets link so interesting is that he could be available when the Jets make their first-round pick, 20th overall. He's generally regarded as the third-best quarterback in the draft, behind North Dakota State's Carson Wentz and Cal's Jared Goff.

Lynch is scheduled to have his pro day next Wednesday; Wentz and Goff have already had theirs. Jets general manager Mike Maccagan didn't attend either one, but he was on hand at the Penn State pro day to see Christian Hackenberg, who also will be making a pre-draft visit to the Jets.

Nothing like a little quarterback speculation to liven things up.
