Greg Van Roten couldn’t wait to finally put on his Jets uniform and visit their facility. After a long delay because of the coronavirus pandemic, Van Roten has now done both, and it’s been everything he imagined.
Van Roten, a Rockville Centre product who went to Chaminade High School, was a Jets fan growing up. The veteran offensive lineman left the Carolina Panthers to sign with Jets this offseason, but he couldn’t step foot in the building and put on his new uniform until recently.
“It’s like a dream come true,” Van Roten said during a Zoom call Thursday.
