FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — This was the fun part for Mike Maccagnan. The Jets’ general manager sat at a table on Thursday flanked by two of the team’s new Gotham Green helmets happily sharing a story about a pre-draft meeting Quinnen Williams, the team’s first-round draft choice.
Williams, who went to New York with the third overall pick, had watched film with team’s coaches during a pre-draft visit. The 303-pound defensive tackle, who’d taken care of three siblings after his mother died when he was 12, impressed the coaches with his insight, proving to be a student of the game.
