He is the favorite of the fans and of all the men who do everything, even before he has gathered the crowd of blondes who have the most fun at his side.
“It’s fun to be accepted by this fan base, honestly one of the biggest fan bases in the NFL, not even close, really,” Braxton Berrios said. “They are fans.”
And on the sun-dappled day when Berrios returned for team drills and green-clad fans were in the stands for the first time and the Jets brought out their four first- and second-round picks, Berrios began to spread the word. to the New York, New York Post on why rookies will soon be accepted as he is.
Gardner Corner Sauce he did a backflip at the end of cornerback DJ Reed’s pick-six over Zach Wilson.
“There is a reason why we chose it with the fourth [overall] election,” Berríos said. “He is a rare athlete, and he is doing very well. I’m excited to see him every day in camp and then as the season goes on.”
Gardner has that athletic swagger that all players, especially cornerbacks, need. And those long arms.
“He has long arms,” Berríos said. “He obviously makes it difficult for wide receivers, getting around them, passing them, and then he also has the speed to go the distance. But yeah, he is extremely lanky.”
Wide receiver Garrett Wilson, the 10th pick.
“Extremely athletic. Great route runner, strong hands,” said Berríos.
Tight end CJ Uzomah compares Wilson to a gazelle.
“I always call it a deer,” Berríos said. It is elastic. And I know I said this about Sauce, but he’s hot too, he’s got the arms of a king, hands of rope. It had a wide target radius and yet it is very explosive.”
Wilson apparently dropped the ball, however, when he was asked to sing an old-school R&B number for veterans.
“He has to go again,” Berríos said. Was it that bad? “It wasn’t that,” Berríos said. “He was not sold. You just have to sell. All we want is effort. You can’t be nervous; you have to be fully into it.”
A better indicator on outside linebacker Jermaine Johnson, the 26th pick, will come Monday when the Jets put on the pads.
“It’s very hard to judge in the limited capacity that we’ve been able to, but as camp goes on I think we’re going to see some fun things from him. … Always with a smile on his face, he just goes and goes,” Berríos said. “Honestly, I think the whole D line is a bit like that in the way they practice.”
Conclusion: “I think those three will be impact players for us this year,” Berríos said.
RB Breece Hall, the 36th pick, could be a fourth-impact player.
“I can’t wait until they put the pads on because you see a little bit more of why they are that way,” Berríos said, “but the same: athletic and strong… built from the ground up somehow. It seems extremely powerful. He can do everything, he has good hands, he can go out on the road. There’s nothing he hasn’t seen him do.”
Several fans shouted positive reviews at Berríos about the hair.
“I was blonde when I grew up, I was blonde all my life,” Berríos said, and smiled, “and as I got older, it got darker and darker. I thought about it several times and I wanted to change a little bit going to camp and I thought it was the perfect time to do it.”
Berríos thought it was the perfect time, and the Jets were the perfect team to take advantage of his All-Pro year as a returnee and security blanket for Zach Wilson and MDP (Most Trusted Player) and sign him to a two-year, $12 million deal. .
“I saw the change of tide,” said Berríos. “It didn’t feel like a 4-13 year. I felt like the tide had turned and I wanted to be a part of this, get the Jets back to where they should be.”
A lot depends on the quarterback.
“Since he arrived, I try to be a resource for him,” Barrios said. “You come in as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets at 21 years old. I can’t imagine. We built a great relationship, great chemistry, and we’ve been very, very good friends ever since.”
Wilson will turn 23 on Wednesday.
“Now he feels very comfortable in the system,” Berríos said, “and it shows in the way he walks, in the way he throws the ball, in the way he talks. He really is.
Berríos averaged a league-best 30.4 yards per kickoff return last year with a touchdown. He averaged 13.4 yards per punt return, and he was also a crafty and dangerous slot receiver (46-431-2 TD). More mouths to feed now.
“We have a phenomenal … one of the most athletic teams I think I’ve ever had,” Berríos said. “The best part of this is that everyone is on the same page. We don’t have a selfish guy in the room at every skill position. We want to see each other eat, we want to see each other feed and just make plays. I think it’s going to be a very, very exciting thing to see this year.”
Playoffs or failure?
“You play this game to win,” said Berríos.
He’s sure the Jets won the draft.
