FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Every veteran starter on the New York Jets defense has faced Tom Brady at least once in his career -- well, except outside linebacker Brandon Copeland, who hopes to get his first crack at Brady on Sunday.
"This is my first time playing the Patriots -- ever -- so I'm very excited," said Copeland, who has an elbow injury that could have an impact on his status. "It's crazy to think about, so I'm very excited to try to introduce myself the right way."
How?
"I'll show you Sunday," Copeland said, smiling.
