Every summer, it feels like New York Jets fans find a new undrafted wide receiver to rally behind. The formula is almost predictable — an unheralded name makes a few highlight-reel grabs in training camp or the preseason, flashes some underdog grit, and suddenly he’s the talk of Jets Twitter.
Most fade away once the regular season starts, but every so often, one of these summer darlings resurfaces elsewhere. This year, that’s Jason Brownlee, and he’s doing more than just hanging on in Kansas City so far.
Brownlee has been one of the biggest stars of Chiefs training camp this summer and is reportedly making a strong and highly improbable push for a roster spot.
