Running back Michael Carter said it recently. So did WR Elijah Moore. AVT echoed those words on Monday.
The Jets collection of promising rookies don't feel like rookies -- what's more, they're not playing like rookies. Certainly not after 11 games.
"I think, definitely right about this point with the amount of games we've played, it definitely doesn't feel like we're rookies anymore," Vera-Tucker said. "Us being out there, we're more comfortable with the speed of the game, working in sync, which is a great thing to see. It's a great part of what's going on."
TE Ryan Griffin, who nearly snagged a low pass from Zach Wilson in the back of the end zone, has been in the league since 2013 (playing his first six seasons with the Texans), said that he's impressed by the rookies, and the Jets' other young players.
"There's a hunger to get better," Griffin said. "They say we're a young team, but I've been around young guys who don't really get better, but not this team. I'm really impressed with the guys, they're learning and willing to put their bodies on the line, willing to put in the time. These are high-character guys, especially this rookie class. I'm really excited to see what's to come for this class and this Jets team."
