As part of their annual training camp "hazing" ritual, the Jets' rookies had to stand up in front of the entire team recently and sing a song of their choice.
First up was defensive end Nathan Shepherd, a third-round draft pick -- and carrier of a pretty decent tune, if he may say so himself. Shepherd went with The Jackson Five's version of "Who's Lovin' You." He got a standing ovation from his teammates.
"So it didn't go too bad," Shepherd, smiling, told NJ Advance Media recently.
And things aren't too shabby on the field for Shepherd, either, as the Jets' coaches are giving him every opportunity to win the starting defensive end spot opposite Leonard Williams.
