It’s not usual for a third-round draft pick to fail to make the 53-man roster, but that’s what happened to former University of Florida pass rusher Jachai Polite, whom the New York Jets let go during roster cuts last month.
Now he’s been let go from the Seattle Seahawks practice squad.
The 68th overall pick got the axe from the Jets not just for uninspiring play on the field, but a horror show of disciplinary issues. He was even mocked to the Seahawks on some draft boards as a first-round talent, but evidently concerns about his character and other problems that arose pre-draft tanked his stock.
