Highlighting the winners from the New York Jets‘ preseason-opening win over the New York Giants is Mike White.
White took a step forward in his competition with James Morgan for the Jets’ backup quarterback job. He received second-team reps and got a hefty amount of action, leading the Jets with 19 pass attempts (Zach Wilson and Morgan each threw 9).
While there wasn’t much about White’s performance that was sexy, he showed a decent command of the offense.
White got the football out promptly and was fairly accurate on the quick-hitting short throws that will be prominent in Mike LaFleur‘s offense.
