Jets' new/old center Ryan Kalil: 'They don't have a Rosetta Stone for this'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- To break up the monotony of training camp, the New York Jets took a little road trip Sunday night to MetLife Stadium, where they held their annual Green & White practice under the lights before a few thousand fans. Thirty minutes before it started, Ryan Kalil was in uniform, pacing the locker room to calm his nerves. Remember, this was a practice, not a game.

"Everybody was making fun of me," he said.

Isn't football great?

Kalil has played 156 games in his decorated career, including a Super Bowl, and yet he couldn't prevent a case of the butterflies.
