The veteran coach Dunbar has built a reputation for getting the most out of his players.<\/p>\n<p>From turning T.J. Watt into one of the league\u2019s top players to turning third-round pick Alex Highsmith into a player capable of logging 10 sacks each season, Dunbar has proven a lot as a coach. <\/p>\n<p>Jets fans should know that firsthand from his first stint with the team (2012-14).<\/p>\n<p>In Dunbar\u2019s eight seasons as the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 defensive line coach, Pittsburgh led the NFL in sacks with 392.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he looks to bring that over to New York while helping develop younger players like Bailey.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rookie minicamp is underway.
