Jets land Far Rockaway native in sixth round
Folorunso FatukasiThe Jets stayed local for one of their Saturday picks.
Gang Green picked defensive lineman Folurunso “Foley” Fatukasi in the sixth round, the 180th-overall pick. Fatukasi grew up in Far Rockaway and played at Beach Channel High School. He went to Connecticut for college where he had 168 tackles in 48 games for the Huskies.
“It feels great,” Fatukasi said. “I give thanks, I don’t want to sound cliché, but I have to thank God for every moment that I have had up until now. It’s surreal. Words can’t explain how I feel right now.”
