The NY Jets have signed former Division-II standout safety, J.T. Hassell.
With injuries at the safety position, the NY Jets added some much-needed depth to their defensive backfield on Friday with the signing of former Cleveland Browns safety J.T. Hassell.
But who is the Jets’ newest addition? What exactly should Jets fans be expecting from the 25-year-old safety?
A native of Florida, Hassell was born with just two fingers on his left hand as a result of a birth defect. But despite the odds being stacked against him, he managed to overcome them all and excel at football in both high school and college.
