The New York Jets are urging patience with rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds, who has seen limited playing time early in the season. Coaches insist that the young defensive back will receive his opportunity as the campaign progresses.
"He's going to get his shot," a team source said, emphasizing the organization's confidence in Ponds' development.
Ponds, a rookie out of college, has been working behind established veterans in the secondary. The Jets' coaching staff believes that continued practice and preparation will ready him for a larger role when called upon.
