Ex-Jets star Antonio Cromartie back with team for coaching internship
NY Post
One of the Jets’ former Pro Bowl defenders is coming back to New York.
Former cornerback Antonio Cromartie announced on Sunday he would be participating in the NFL’s Bill Walsh Internship with the Jets during training camp.
“Ready [to] learn as much as I can during this time,” Cromartie wrote. “Thank you Coach Saleh and your staff for this opportunity!!!”
Cromartie played five seasons with the Jets, making two Pro Bowls across his time in green-and-white.
From 2010-13, the 6-foot-2 cornerback’s 13 interceptions were tied for the 14th-most in the NFL.
