Vice president of college scouting Joey Clinkscales denied reports that he plans to reunite with his buddy, Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie. 
 “I expect to be here,” Clinkscales said during the Jets post-draft presser. "My job is a talent evaluator and I understand where the connection comes in to be honest with you. Reggie and I haved played high school and college ball (at Tennessee) together. We were also in each other's weddings and I've known Reggie forever. 
 "But this is where I started and this is where I plan on being."
