FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Jason Brownlee's phone provides a constant reminder of how far he has come in his football journey.

And how much further he expects to go.

The New York Jets rookie wide receiver's home screen is a photo of him being coached up by Aaron Rodgers on the field during offseason workouts. It's a welcome to the NFL moment that will be forever cherished by Brownlee.

“I'm definitely going to get it framed,” a smiling Brownlee said after practice Sunday.

The undrafted free agent from Southern Miss has been among the early standouts in training camp, regularly making plays and impressing his new quarterback and coaches.
