Florham Park, NJ – Hockey season has ended and the World Cup is in the middle of group stages, but ex-Jet defensive coordinator, Mike Pettine, just managed to pull off one of the most unique and oddly impressive hat tricks ever by managing to anger Rex Ryan, Bill Belichick and Nick Saban all in one…
Florham Park, NJ – It was a hot and humid day as the Jets kicked off their 2014 minicamp, the players made sure they were well hydrated as they drank a bit more water than normal during warmups and it’s a good thing they did because of all the pushups they had to do. The…
Florham Park, NJ – Last year, on September 14th, Dexter McDougle had two interceptions to help the Terrapins beat Connecticut 32-21. Later in that same game McDougle suffered a season-ending shoulder injury when he went to make a tackle. “Dexter was playing as good as he’s played since I’ve been here.” Maryland Coach Randy Edsall…
Florham Park, NJ – The Jets kicked off OTA’s yesterday, but today was the media’s first chance to get a look at the whole team together and as they say, ‘you never get a second chance at a first impression.’ Of course that puts too much pressure and/or emphasis on the first impression especially in…
Last year Sheldon Richardson dominated the headlines in rookie camp, instantly earned the affection of the coaching staff and teammates and also became both a fan and media favorite.

Let’s skip the standard generic joke about the players getting paid more to play in college than in the NFL, today marks the first day of work as actual employees for these rookies. Some of these players are just here temporarily, trying out to make the mini-camp/training camp roster, others are locks to make the…
With the Jets possessing 12 picks in this year’s draft everyone expected the Jets to package some of those picks to move up in the draft, after all it’s unlikely 12 rookies will stick with the team once the regular season starts, but using all 12 picks means sticking with Idzik’s mantra of building through…
With their only fifth round pick the Jets drafted inside linebacker, Jeremiah George, from Iowa State. George is 5’11 1/4″, 234 lbs, and ran an average (for linebackers) 40 of 4.91. He has 33 1/4″ arm length, put up an impressive 28 reps in the bench (worst for linebackers was 18, 30 was the most),…
The Jets have a busy day today with nine total picks on the day. They started off with three fourth round picks where they finally drafted a receiver and chased that pick down with a second receiver and a guard to close out the round for them. The first receiver they took was Jalen Saunders…
