As many already know, I’m a sucker for an underdog. I enjoy going deep into the roster of the New York Jets and finding that player who has skills but is fighting an uphill battle to make it in the NFL. I’ve featured many of them over the years, and these have become some of my favorite articles to write. Today’s player profile is Jason Vander Laan.
Laan is a former quarterback out of Ferris State that the Jets took after the 2016 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. Prior to the draft and to his signing with the team, Laan began a very ambitious conversion of his skills.
