John Franklin-Myers' path: 0-30 in HS, Super Bowl sack, reboot with New York Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- It was a bull rush. Tom Brady was the quarterback. Super Bowl LIII.

John Franklin-Myers plowed into guard Joe Thuney, kept driving his legs and tossed Thuney aside like a blocking sled. He finished by sacking Brady and dislodging the ball from the New England Patriots' star -- a forever moment for any player, let alone a 22-year-old rookie.

Franklin-Myers, now a defensive end for the New York Jets, has a photograph of his Feb. 2019, strip sack hanging in the closet of his New Jersey home.
