Chad Hansen is no stranger to a challenge.
The former University of California walk-on is fighting for a place in a crowded receiving corps, but is relishing his chance to make an impression in his second year with the Jets.
“I’m used to this,” he said at minicamp Thursday. “This is exactly what happened in college, so I’ve been through it before, and I think, you know, I’m a better player for it. I’m kinda grateful for what I had to go through at college, so I think that helps out here.”
Hansen, a fourth-round selection in 2017, had only nine receptions last season, but has turned some heads so far with his strong hands and ability to make plays in traffic.
