The New York Jets are hosting another player with the NFL’s new kickoff rules in mind.
Former All-Pro kick returner Jakeem Grant will attend minicamp this week with the Jets on a tryout basis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Grant spent the last two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He suffered a knee injury during the preseason last year and did not play at all during the regular season.
The 31-year-old Grant was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 2016 and spent six seasons there before being traded to the Chicago Bears in 2021. Grant made the Pro Bowl as a returner in his lone season with the Bears and was named a Second-team All-Pro for the second time.
