Neville Hewitt Was an Iron Man in the Middle of Jets Defense in 2020 LB Led the Jets with 134 Total Tackles, 91 of Them Solo Acts
JANUARY 26, 2021 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Finishes season with 134 tackles Hewitt racked up seven solo tackles in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots and finishes the year with a team-high 134 tackles.
Impact Hewitt also picked up two sacks as the leader of New York's depleted linebacker corps while blowing his previous high of 75 tackles out of the water. The Jets will likely look to bring back the free agent this offseason to pair Hewitt with C.J. Mosley, who is expected to return after opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. There's room for both players to start at inside linebacker in the Jets' 3-4 scheme.

Crosses 100-tackle threshold Hewitt compiled 12 tackles (nine solo), a sack and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.
Impact Hewitt was the Jets' leading tackler, as the team limited a Vegas running game that struggled without Josh Jacobs (ankle). The secondary didn't hold up its end of the bargain, however, surrendering three passing touchdowns to Derek Carr, including a 46-yarder to Henry Ruggs with five seconds to go. Hewitt has 103 tackles through 12 games and has chipped in a sack in each of the least two.

Notches first sack of 2020 Hewitt registered six tackles, one sack, a forced fumble and a 17-yard fumble-recovery return during Sunday's 20-3 loss the Dolphins.
Impact Hewitt was a one-man wrecking crew once again Week 12, notching a sack-forced fumble on Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the third quarter, and scooping up a Patrick Laird fumble for a sizeable return two Dolphins possessions later. Hewitt has already smashed his previous career high in tackles (75) by reaching 91 with five games still remaining in the regular-season slate. He has 27 starts to his name as a member of the Jets the past three seasons, after starting just seven games for Miami over his first three years in the league.

Climbs to career-best 85 tackles Hewitt racked up 11 tackles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Hewitt was one of three Jets defenders to record double-digit tackles as the Chargers dominated time of possession, joining Harvey Langi and Ashtyn Davis. The 27-year-old linebacker has already set a new career high with 85 tackles and still has six games left to build on that total, starting with a Week 12 tilt against Miami.

Eight tackles in latest loss Hewitt recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Hewitt's up to 67 tackles through eight games, as New York's defense continues to spend the majority of the game on the field with the offense failing to hold up its end of the bargain. Fellow linebacker Avery Williamson, who had one more tackle than Hewitt in this one, was traded to Pittsburgh later Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports, so Hewitt could have even more tackle opportunities moving forward.

Impact Hewitt tied fellow middle linebacker Avery Williamson for the team lead in tackles and set a new career high in the category. He has 59 tackles this season and is primed to make a sizable addition to that total in Week 8 against a Chiefs team that will likely dominate in time of possession.
