As rookies get ready to report to camp, the New York Jets' last selection of the 2024 NFL draft is embracing his new nickname as he fights for a spot on the roster.

First round pick Olu Fashanu and third rounder Malachi Corley are the headliners, followed by fourth round running back Braelon AllenIt's expected that these three players will make the roster and have some sort of impact during their rookie seasons, but as far as the rest of the draft class goes, it's really unknown who might develop into a contributor.
Knowing the odds are stacked against him, the Alabama product is ready to embrace that moniker and show everyone, especially the organization, what he can do on the football field. That might be unlikely, but New York's general manager Joe Douglas says they selected him for a reason. He played four years at UAB before transferring to Alabama and being coached by Nick Saban for his final season of college football.
