This morning, we take a look at a guy who is going to compete in camp for the 3rd string quarterback position. He has great family ties, as his Dad is a legendary QB in NY, Phil Simms. Spotlight, QB, Phil Simms, University of Tennessee.
He measures in at 6’3″ 210 pounds.
As a less than full time starter at Tennessee, he threw for 1,818 yards, 8 TDs, and 9 INTs in his college career.
Here are a couple of highlight videos to get the ball rolling:

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
