The New York Jets‘ greatest under-the-radar free-agent signing in recent memory has been inside linebacker Neville Hewitt.
The converted safety out of the Milledgeville, Georgia and Marshall University (voted 2014 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year) may never become an elite NFL star. But he continues to get the job done whenever he’s given the opportunity.
The Thundering Herd star went undrafted and played two years for Adam Gase’s Miami Dolphins. The linebacker notably had five tackles in Gase’s last playoff appearance, a 30-12 embarrassment to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2016 AFC Wild Card game.
