After the Jets signed Garrett Wilson to a contract on July 17, the team tweeted out that Wilson “exemplifies everything it means to be a Jet.”
What does that mean right now as we sit here on the cusp of training camp about to start?
And that is asked with no disrespect intended.
Isn’t that being established with a new coach in town who is 0-0 right now, who is about to lord over his first training camp?
The team’s first-year head coach, Aaron Glenn, is trying to fix the team’s culture, and they are in the embryonic stages of that process. Time will tell if he can do it.
Unfortunately for the team’s fans, the team has missed the playoffs 14 years in a row, currently tied with the Buffalo Sabres as the longest current streak in professional sports.
So with that dubious streak, and a new coach who took over a few months ago and has not coached a game yet, what does it mean to “exemplify everything it means to be a Jet” right now?
We should know more about what that looks like in a few months, when we see Glenn’s team in real game action for a minute.
But as we sit here right now, it’s a mystery.
It’s up to Glenn and his staff to make “what it means to be a Jet” into a tangible thing.
Right now, on July 22, with the players reporting to their first camp under the new coach, ‘what it means to be a Jet” is a work in progress.
