New York Jets head coach Adam Gase isn’t hiding his excitement over new free agent addition Jamison Crowder.
While the tight end has long been referred to as a quarterback’s security blanket, today’s NFL has developed a similar role for the slot receiver. But while many of the league’s better slot receivers are possession-type pass-catchers who excel at simply moving the chains and giving the quarterback a reliable target on shorter routes or in the middle of the field, the New York Jets believe they’ve added a more complex weapon in Jamison Crowder.
One of the Jets’ biggest additions in free agency, Crowder heads to the Big Apple after four highly productive seasons with the Washington Redskins.
