There were some flashes from Andrew Peasley this weekend as the New York Jets rookie made his preseason debut and was certainly quite solid.
An undrafted rookie free agent out of Wyoming, Peasley went 8-of-11 for 73 yards and a touchdown as the Jets beat the Washington Commanders 20-17. He turned 24-years old in January.
Last year for Wyoming, Peasley threw for 1,823 yards with 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. In the season opener last year against Texas Tech, Peasley threw for 149 yards and two touchdowns as Wyoming took the Big 12 program to overtime on the road.
For the Jets, Peasley looked the part and performed well.
“I thought I did pretty decent for my first time getting real snaps in the NFL,” Peasley told reporters on Saturday following the game.
“Had a lot of fun, man. That was my main goal, is just be confident and go out there, play. I thought we all, the second group, when I went out did really well, made some plays, JB [Jason Brownlee] in the end zone with that touchdown and just all around ran the ball really well, which helps fast games.”
The Jets return to preseason action on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers.
