ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported this week that a familiar face will be making his way back to Florham Park this summer, not necessarily as a coach, but more as a mentor.
Legendary former Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff is expected to spend time at training camp over the coming weeks assisting new special teams coordinator Chris Banjo as he prepares for his first full season in the role.
While Westhoff isn’t joining the staff in any official capacity, his presence is still notable. The 77-year-old is widely regarded as one of the greatest special teams minds in NFL history, having spent over a decade leading the Jets’ unit during some of the team’s most successful seasons in recent memory.
