In the slow news days leading up to New York Jets training camp, I often find myself reflecting on the years went by and the players that made them worth watching. As many of my readers will already know, I enjoy rooting for the underdog. This year I decided to look at the ultimate underdog in wide receiver Wayne Chrebet.
Chrebet came to the Jets as a walk on when the franchise held training camp at Hofstra University on Long Island. Chrebet played his collegiate ball at Hofstra, but despite breaking several school records, he was never considered an NFL prospect.
