Anderson, a feel good story late last season, was picked up by the Jets after gaining notoriety for standing outside NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, holding up a sign saying among other things, “will run routes 4 food”. The humility Anderson displayed was a moving gesture that put fans in his corner in an instant.

However, it wasn’t meant to be as he was let go today, just one day before the team’s rookie mini-camp.

Things started out well for the New York Jets who looked as if they were on the verge of picking up their first win in forever, but it wasn't to be.

A backbreaking pick-six from Aaron Rodgers was the turning point as the Seattle Seahawks came screaming back for a 26-21 victory.
