Five years ago, Quincy Enunwa was the ninth player drafted by the Jets out of 12 total draft picks.
Now, he is the only one from that draft class left on the team.
“It’s a really good feeling, obviously, anytime you can outlast [guys], especially guys that were drafted ahead of you,” Enunwa said. “I’m proud of the work I’ve put in to get to where I’m at now.”
Enunwa’s tale is one of hope for draft picks who may feel overlooked this week. He was the 29th wide receiver drafted in 2014. The Jets drafted two receivers ahead of him, two guys who are long forgotten — Jalen Saunders and Shaq Evans.
