NY Jets fans: This is the correct way to pronounce ‘C.J. Uzomah’

C.J. Uzomah has brought his infectious personality to the New York Jets.

He has also carried the long trail of people who mispronounce his last name to East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Folks, Uzomah already got ahead of that. Last season, he graciously informed the Cincinnati media of the correct pronunciation of his last name.

Newsflash: it’s not YEW-ze-mah, Yew-ZOW-mah, or OO-ze-mah. It’s yew-ZAH-mah.

Friendly reminder: It's pronounced yew-ZAH-mah.@cj_uzomah | #RuleTheJungle pic.twitter.com/78FiUqNx7y
