Robby Anderson remembers the call to Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan on the morning of Jan. 19.
The wide receiver had just spent the night in the Broward County (Fla.) jail after getting arrested following a traffic stop, his second arrest in eight months. Now, Anderson had to call the GM, who believed in him enough to sign him in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of Temple.
“He understood the situation,” Anderson said Wednesday, recalling the conversation. “I was honest with him about what happened. I explained to him the truth. He was just giving me a heart-to-heart, man-to-man talk.
