Why Mike Williams chose to sign with the Jets — it wasn’t just the sandwich
NY Post
Mike Williams found more things appealing about the Jets than just his famous breakfast sandwich.
“For me, personally, I just felt like it was a great fit for me,” Williams said Wednesday, one day after signing a one-year deal with the Jets. “Aaron [Rodgers], I want to be able to play with him, pick his brain, learn from him. Playing alongside Garrett [Wilson], he kind of reminds me of Keenan [Allen] a little bit. Similar style play, great route runners, and I feel like we can complement each other. The running game is pretty good. The defense is elite. I just feel like we’ve got a pretty good opportunity ahead of us. I’m just looking forward to it.”
The former Chargers wide receiver tore his ACL in Week 3 of last season. He said he had surgery 4 ¹/₂ months ago and expects to be ready for Week 1 of the 2024 season.
He said “we’re gonna see” about being ready for training camp.
“I’m about 4 ¹/₂ months out, right on schedule,” Williams said. “My main focus is just coming in every day, putting in the work and just continuing to grind. Everything is on schedule. Everything is looking good.”
The Jets signed Williams as part of an offensive makeover after the team ranked 31st in yards per game last season.

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
