The Jets signed Devito as an undrafted free agent out of Maine in 2007. In the years that followed, he worked his way onto the roster and eventually the starting lineup, becoming a top notch run defender. He played so well that the Jets eventually could not afford him, and Mike signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. Considering the Jets also got Darrelle Revis and David Harris from that 2007 Draft class, it was quite a haul. Congrats to Mike on a stellar career and best of luck in the future.
A true role model, and an even truer friend. Happy retirement my brother.
