For Bryce Petty, this day had been a long time coming.
When he stepped onto the Jets’ practice field Friday, the quarterback knew the draft process was over and his NFL career had begun.
“The whole process of playing your last game in college and then Senior Bowl, combine, pro day and then getting here, it feels like six years,” said Petty, the Jets’ fourth-round pick. “To be here, it’s a great feeling.”
On his first day, Petty showed the big arm he was known for at Baylor. He made some nice throws, and was intercepted once in team drills.
