Jets' Mike White latest underdog winning over New Yorkers
New York is a town of stars. But it's also about underdogs. Shirley MacLaine was a talented kid who nobody knew until Carol Haney broke her ankle in 1954. Brian Doyle had 52 at-bats prior to the 1978 postseason and only 147 more afterward. Victor Cruz played in 70 NFL games and won a Super Bowl in his 18th game. Mike White was drafted as the 171st pick in the draft in 2018 and waived four times by the Jets. He was given a shot in 2021 and led the New York Jets to a victory over the Bengals. He is remembered fondly.
