An under-the-radar roster battle is starting to take shape in Florham Park, and it could be a major factor in how the New York Jets’ special teams unit looks in 2025.
Undrafted rookie wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett has impressed throughout training camp and is making a legitimate push to unseat incumbent punt returner Xavier Gipson before Week 1.
The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reported Thursday that Pritchett “continues to stand out,” while highlighting a slick catch-and-run from back-up quarterback Adrian Martinez. Head coach Aaron Glenn called him a “smaller guy” who “has some fight in him,” even praising his willingness to mix it up as a blocker.
