The New York Jets, like every team, have their fair share of rookie training camp sensations. Some prospects soar, while most flatline. None of that hype matters until they play games under the bright lights of the regular season.
Ex-general manager Mike Maccagnan looked like he’d found a gem in undrafted free agent outside linebacker Frankie Luvu, 6-foot-3, 236-pound, high-motor field assassin.
The Samoan via Washington State played 14 games of situational ball for Todd Bowles in 2018 and registered three sacks and five tackles for loss. 2019 was supposed to be the year that Luvu took it next level.
