Mike Flacco hopes Jets rookie minicamp will lead to spot in NFL - like brother Joe

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Mike Flacco hopes he'll be here past the weekend.

The former New Haven tight end -- and brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco -- is one of 24 players the Jets invited to try out during their three-day rookie minicamp.

"I'm here and I'm hoping to stay here. We'll see how it goes after this weekend," the younger Flacco said after the first day. " . . . It just worked out that this was the best shot, and the guys that called first -- or, the only guys that called -- were the Jets.
