FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The preseason was over for the Jets, and it had come down to a numbers game for Leonard Williams.
The "Big Cat'' had a chance to trade in his No. 62 on Monday for something more fitting on a defensive end -- 92, 93 or 95.
He had heard of Shaun Ellis, a defensive end who wore 92 through the 2010 season after the Jets drafted him 12th overall in 2000. After the available numbers became known, several people told Williams about Ellis' similar nickname, "Big Katt.''
"I started looking up his highlights,'' Williams said after Thursday's practice.
