Jets' Henry Anderson living large as 'Goose' mystery widens

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Henry Anderson's nickname travels well. The moniker -- Goose -- was hatched at Stanford, circa 2011. It went from Palo Alto, California, to the Indianapolis Colts to the New York Jets. Crazy thing is, no one on the Jets seems to know the genesis of Goose. And he's not telling.

"There are half-truths that have been released to certain media, especially in college," he said with a smile, alluding to a Madden NFL video-game contest from his freshman year in which he went scoreless in the fourth quarter -- a goose egg.
