Patriots castoff Braxton Berrios thriving with the Jets

Error 0:

The Jets spent the offseason searching for a punt returner after allowing All-Pro Andre Roberts to leave in free agency. They went through several different players, but did not find their guy until Week 1 of the regular season.

They claimed Braxton Berrios off waivers after the Patriots made him one of their final cuts. The move has worked out.

Berrios is No. 1 in punt returns in the NFL, among those with at least 1.25 returns per game. He is averaging 11.1 yards per return and has had some big ones recently. Berrios has 12 returns of 10 yards or more, the second-most in the NFL.
