Jets Sign RB; Waive DB

The Jets have signed undrafted rookie free agent running back Terry Williams and have waived/injured defensive back Kendall James.

Williams (5’8″, 191), who wore uniform No. 1 and was nicknamed “T Max” at Kutztown University, comes to the Jets after getting an invitation to the Giants’ rookie minicamp in May. He ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at his pro day in March. He’s wearing No. 36 in green and white.

He was a two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference second-teamer. As a senior he ran for 817 yards on 118 carries for 6.9 yards/carry and scored 14 total touchdowns and 13 rush TDs — fourth-most in a season in KU history and two ahead of the then-school-record 11 by Jets-star-to-be Bruce Harper in 1976.
