FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Marcus Williams went up in the end zone and came down with the interception, just a friendly reminder with four seconds left in the first half of the exhibition opener last week at Detroit that he's still here with the Jets.
"Hopefully, it was pretty important," Williams said. "You want to make plays and to be seen and show that you're out there trying to make the team."
The Jets signed Williams to the practice squad three weeks into last season, anundrafted rookie free agent cut from the Texans' practice squad. Rex Ryan activated Williams for the second half of the season, throwing him right in as a starting cornerback after all the well-documented trouble the Jets had at the position.
