Isaiah Williams’ season came full circle this week when he was voted the New York Jets’ Curtis Martin Award, a player-voted honor given yearly to the team's MVP. It was the culmination of one of the NFL's most incredible redemption arcs in recent memory.
It also served as a nice reminder that individual stories can still shine in the midst of typical Jets misery. After all, Williams’ journey from afterthought to centerpiece was almost unthinkable just a few months ago.
He became just the third special teamer in Jets history to win team MVP, joining Bruce Harper in 1980 and Pat Leahy in 1990.
