The road to professional football certainly hasn’t been easy for Connor Davis.

He wouldn’t want it any other way.

“The past few years I’ve just kept my head down,” said the former Stony Brook tight end, who signed with the Jets on Aug. 15. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get an opportunity, and when it arises, I’ll do everything in my power to take advantage.”

Davis called himself “a late bloomer” in high school in Maryland and didn’t catch the eye of many big-time college programs.
