FLORHAM PARK, NJ – With the 2017 draft in the books, now comes the time that teams scour the scrapheap of un-drafted college players to fill their training camp rosters and in the process try to find a diamond or two in the rough. Usually these diamonds are few and far between. If a team keeps one or two un-drafted rookies that’s a lot for a season. Some great un-drafted free agents in Jets history that come to mind are WR Wayne Chrebet and S Victor Green.
We will update this list as we hear of more singings but as of now (May 1), here is what we’ve confirmed so far.
- Connor Harris: LB, Lindewood University (MO)
- Jared Combs, DE, North Texas
- Brisly Estime: WR, Syracuse
- Javarius Leamon: OL, South Carolina State

- Antony Firkser: RB, Harvard
- Gabe Marks: WR Washington State
- Patrick Gamble: DT, Georgia Tech
Players Invited To Tryout
