Feels like it was yesterday I was hearing from folks who said he was a bust because he spent time in the AHL. Or those who wanted to leave him exposed to Seattle in the Expansion Draft a few years back. While those were just a very small minority, most were able to see what 44 brings to this Jets club and this season he appears poised to smash all previous expectations.
