FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Three words were all it took to send Mike Catapano's loved ones into a state of frenzy.
"I just texted them: 'I'm a Jet.' And they were like, 'Holy [----].' They couldn't believe it," the Bayville native told Newsday Wednesday after his first day on the practice field with his new teammates.
"My phone's been blowing up like crazy. Like I was just the MVP of the Super Bowl."
