Odds of long-term employment are not good when you are signed by an NFL team one week before the roster has to be trimmed from 90 to 53 players. It takes that long to learn everyone’s name, much less the playbook. But if anyone can beat those odds, it’s John Wolford. Nothing has ever come easy.
A record-setting quarterback at Wake Forest last season, Wolford went through his second practice with the Jets on Monday, two days after he had gotten calls from his agent and then the Jets, who told him to hop on a plane. A contract was waiting.
