The New York Jets may not have wanted to be on Hard Knocks, but they certainly embraced it once it was there. For Jets fans, the biggest treat was getting to know the personalities of some of their players. The spotlight was on Aaron Rodgers, but there were other players who featured endearing roles in the show.
Now, one of the unlucky ones who did not make the cut is back with the team and has a chance to carve out a decent role.
The Jets signed defensive tackle Tanzel Smart to their active roster from the practice squad.
