Kacy undercover: Father coaches free-agent son on Jets defense

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In a recent meeting with his players, New York Jets defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers called for introductions. He went around the room, asking each player to identify himself.

Welcome to springtime in the NFL, where 90-man rosters and heavy turnover practically mandate a getting-to-know-you session.

On this day, the room enjoyed a light moment when a certain 6-foot-2, 220-pound defensive back with a familiar-sounding name introduced himself to the group as Kacy Rodgers II.

"We got a bunch of laughs in the defensive room, a little bit of an uproar," Rodgers II said, smiling.
