Former UC Bearcats wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins signed with the New York Jets, the team announced Wednesday.
Thompkins (6'0", 195) returns to the Green & White after playing the second half of the 2015 season with them. In seven games (two starts) that year, he had 17 receptions for 165 yards (9.7 yards/catch) and no touchdowns.
Thompkins began his pro career as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati with New England after the 2013 NFL Draft. He played for the Patriots in 2013, was waived in '14 and went to Oakland, was waived by the Raiders on final cutdown day in '15 and was signed to New England's practice squad.
