JetNation Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Looking to add a running back since the retirement of Tarik Cohen, the Jets have signed free agent Deon Jackson. Likely just a camp body, Jackson has spent his three year career with the Colts, Browns and Giants. To make room for Jackson the Jets parted with wide receiver Hamze El-Zayat who had impressed lately while getting some reps with the first string offense. The undrafted rookie out of Eastern Michigan was a long shot given his size (5′ 8” 179) but made some noise this past week in hauling in multiple long balls in the Jets Green and White scrimmage. Jackson played his college ball at Duke where he ran for over 2,100 yards over his final three college seasons.The post Jets add RB Deon Jackson, Release WR El-Zayat appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.Click here to read the full story... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
