Why John Morton Is Excited to Play Raiders

Jets offensive coordinator John Morton is excited to travel to Oakland for many reasons, but one you might not expect.

“I wouldn’t be sitting here right now if it weren’t for Al Davis,” Morton said. “He’s the one that got me started, he gave me a job. I was just a practice squad player there for a couple years and we always talked football after practice. He’s a football junkie and he told me when I stopped playing to give him a call and that’s what I did. I gave him a call and he gave me a job.
