CHARLOTTE, N.C. — New York Jets returner Brandon Codrington may have been one of the smallest players on the field Saturday night, but it didn't stop him from having the biggest impact.
The 5-foot-9, 185-pound undrafted rookie from tiny North Carolina Central returned a kickoff 63 yards and a punt 31 yards to set up scores and the Jets beat the Carolina Panthers 15-12 on Saturday night in a game in which both teams rested almost all of their starters and several key reserves.
Austin Seibert kicked four field goals, including a 52 yarder, and Greg Zuerlein added another for the Jets.
