Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder with brother Jamaris.Jamison Crowder always greets his brother Jamaris with a hug and a kiss on the forehead. The kiss brings a smile to Jamaris’ face, the exchange a clear and simple sign of the bond the two brothers share.
It is a bond that does not need words to explain.
The two have never been able to have a conversation. Jamaris, who is non-verbal, has Down syndrome and is on the autism spectrum. Nine years younger than Jamison, the wide receiver the Jets signed in March to be part of their revamped offense, Jamaris communicates in different ways with his big brother, and Jamison draws strength from him.
