FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Aside from his Jets teammates and coaches, Kellen Davis said, the only person he talks football with is his wife, Jillian. She loves the sport, knows the sport, and so she has noticed that her husband has been targeted only one time during the first two games. Which is one more than the Jets’ other tight end, Jeff Cumberland.
“She tells me to keep grinding,” Davis said. “It’s all you can do.”
Davis signed with the Jets in March aware of the reputation that the team’s new offensive coordinator, Chan Gailey, had for not featuring tight ends in the passing game.
