The irony is not lost on Neville Hewitt.
The 26-year-old journeyman inside linebacker is playing for Jets coach Adam Gase, who happened to have released him from the Dolphins in 2017 and now happens to need him to take over for injured starter Avery Williamson.
“It’s crazy how life works out,’’ Hewitt told The Post after practice Tuesday. “It’s cool to get an opportunity to play again. When I was in Miami, that was my first time I ever got cut in my life. It was a learning experience, and at the same time I’m blessed to have another opportunity to still play this game.
