New York Jets LB Kevin Pierre-Louis rising after painful start to season

FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—Kevin Pierre-Louis’ official designation on the New York Jets roster reads “linebacker”. Lately, though, he has gone far beyond the LB initials.

In recent weeks, first-year Jet Pierre-Louis has become one of the more versatile players on the team. In addition to his defensive duties, which have increased in the wake of an unexpected loss, Pierre-Louis has expanded his reach to special teams.

The linebacker gave a preview of what was to come in Cleveland back in September, getting his hand on a Britton Colquitt punt that set the Jets up in prime touchdown territory.
