New Jets WR Wesley Lyons

Okay....

I don't have much experience with film and all, I'll leave that to Wyatt.

I saw on the jets site who earned an invite to training camp.

I haven't done a real fanpost in a while or a debate.

I feel the Jets have found their replacement for Wallace Wright.

Wallace Wright was a star special team players and was known for his block in the San Diego Chargers game that allowed Shonn Greene to break for a long touchdown. Here is the play :

Jets RB Shonn Greene Mocks LT (via mejjop)

I went to the Jets website and saw Wesley Lyons : 6'9" , 234. I am no WVU fan, but when someone sees a Tight End / Wide Receiver at 6'9"....there's something that makes you jump out. He ran a 4.60 40 yard dash.

I don't know much about him as a player, so I went onto YouTube, not many highlights, he didn't seem like a statistical guy, but he sure seems to be a guy who Rex Ryan will love.

He fights for the tough yards, this play reminds me of the Braylon Edwards play.

WVU 2009 spring game Wes Lyons tough TD catch (via MorgantownWV1)

Wes Lyons destroys ECU defender (via McDiggy)

This play reminds me of the advantage of having a receiver willing to block.

His height is amazing, and helps me think of LeBron James... (poor reference)

His stats don't jump out at all compared to David Clowney's collegiant stats.

Anyone else know much about him?

Cant help but be intrigued by his height. He needs to pack on a few pounds though. His frame is way too thin.

true.
I don’t know…wallace wright was pretty skinny, then again wallace was 6’1 197. ran a 4.5

Wes is 6’9’’ 234, ran a 4.6

what’d you vote?

maybe

but he may be better a little thinner to get inside to the middle, slip by

that was an absolutely righteous block on the defender to spring the back!!!!

Agreed.

Great block.

I wonder if he could catch that lil endzone route that Key used to catch. He has the height. In fact he remides me a lil bit of keyshawn. If Keyshawn was a bull that is.
