FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Lucky Whitehead is eager to put his time in Dallas behind him and embrace his fresh start with the Jets.
Just days after a surprising case of mistaken identity led to his abrupt dismissal from the Cowboys, Whitehead still seemed stunned by the whole ordeal.
“It’s been crazy. A lot’s been going on. I’m just happy to get an opportunity,” the 5-9 wide receiver/kick returner said Saturday, after competing his first training camp practice with his new team.
Whitehead was cut by the Cowboys on Tuesday after an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court was issued following a shoplifting incident last month.
