Isaiah Williams, the Jets’ special teams player extraordinaire last season and the team MVP, is making a case to be a bigger part of the offense this season.
Williams has stood out in camp with his speed and ability to get open. Aaron Glenn keeps referring to Williams as “a dude.” He caught five passes on Saturday and has been a top offensive playmaker through the first two weeks of practice.
“Players like that demand respect, they demand reps,” Glenn said. “Even though I love his kick return and punt return ability, man, there's some things he can do in our offense. We’re going to have to give the ball to him, we have to figure out a way to make sure he’s involved because he’s an explosive player.”
