Standing on Park Avenue outside of the Jets practice facility on Tuesday, where the team was holding ‘open’ kicker tryouts, Josh Henshaw was shooting his one-in-a-million shot.
The 30-year-old financial advisor from Salt Lake City has been chasing his dream of joining the NFL since he graduated from the University of Vermont. And on Monday, when his fraternity brother sent him an article from WFAN detailing the Jets’ tryouts, Henshaw hopped on a plane and flew out to see if he could make something happen.
After some investigating, Henshaw realized that the Jets’ tryout in Florham Park wasn’t exactly ‘open’ but invite only.
