Jonotthan Harrison’s career path after football will include lots of mystery.

The New York Jets center has his sights set on helping solve murders as a larger-than-life homicide detective.“It sounds strange Jordan Jenkins Jersey 2019 , but I’m a real puzzle-type guy,” the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Harrison said with a smile. “I have all kinds of puzzles on my phone, puzzles at home, I do picture puzzles. It’s just something that, to me, is a form of a puzzle and it really sparked my interest.”The 27-year-old Harrison is in his fifth NFL season and second with the Jets. He’s expected to make his fourth straight start at center for New York on Sunday at Buffalo.While his focus is on playing for plenty more seasons, Harrison has some backup plans for the future. First, he wants to pursue something in athletic training, perhaps working with offensive linemen or general personal fitness. But White Leonard Williams Jerseys , then his “quick Plan B,” as he calls it, is to get involved in homicide detective work.“I’ve spoken to a few people involved with law enforcement,” he said, “and they’ve told me they can get me on a fast track through the academy and whatever else is necessary to get into that field.”Harrison’s dream of someday being a detective began during his college days at Florida, where he first majored in psychology but was having trouble passing a required course. After two tries at passing, Harrison consulted with his academic adviser, who suggested he switch to a double-major in criminology and anthropology because he already had taken several of the pre-requisite classes.“I was like, ‘Let me try some courses and see what’s up,'” Harrison recalled. “That’s when I made the switch midway through college and actually realized how much I enjoyed the problem solving involved with homicide detective work. I think it started with just a little detective work initially.”Harrison took a homicide course and researched the murders of five students in his college town of Gainesville Leonard Williams Jerseys 2019 , Florida, in 1990 — a case that made national headlines.“I learned some more about murders around the U.S.,” Harrison said, “and I was like, you know what? This is actually kind of interesting and a lot goes into figuring out a crime scene, figuring out how someone was murdered or why they were murdered — just bigger-picture than, oh, somebody was obviously murdered here.”He has become an avid fan of pretty much any crime drama he can catch on television, hoping to someday carry out his own investigations to solve important cases.Harrison’s mother, Jennifer White Kelechi Osemele Jerseys , remembers a time years ago when she and her husband were reading through a manual to put together some furniture — and there was young Jonotthan behind them assembling it on his own.“You’re talking about a 9- or 10-year-old and he’s putting the whole thing together,” Jennifer Harrison said while laughing. “That’s always been Jonotthan. He has always been one to be planning and figuring out how to fix things. There’s no challenge he won’t attack.” NEW YORK (AP) — The Jets quickly cut ties with third-round pick Jachai Polite, a pass rusher from Florida who struggled to make an impact during training camp.Polite was among the last draft class selected by previous general manager Mike Maccagnan, who was fired a few weeks after the draft and replaced by Joe Douglas. New York has been looking to upgrade its edge rush, but Polite routinely worked with the third-team defense and appeared buried on the depth chart. He was considered a potential first-rounder before poor performances in workouts and interviews leading up to the draft caused his stock to drop.New York also traded cornerback Parry Nickerson, a sixth-rounder last year, to Seattle for a conditional 2021 draft pick as teams got down to the mandatory 53-man initial roster Saturday.Despite the Jets in need of depth at cornerback, Nickerson couldn’t make his mark as a backup. He made two starts as a rookie, but struggled.The Jets waived both Davis Webb and Luke Falk, leaving starter Sam Darnold and backup Trevor Siemian as the only quarterbacks on the roster. Falk outplayed Webb in the preseason and could be brought back on the practice squad.Running back Elijah McGuire was waived and tight end Eric Tomlinson was released Kelechi Osemele Jerseys 2019 , both of whom started games for New York the past two seasons. Other veteran cuts included: linebacker Stephone Anthony, cornerback Marcus Cooper and wide receiver Deonte Thompson.Running back/wide receiver Valentine Holmes, the former Australian rugby league star, was among those waived. He could join the Jets’ practice squad under the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. Through the program, all AFC East teams this year can carry an international player on its practice squad that doesn’t count against the 10-man limit.Kicker Taylor Bertolet, who made two field goals but missed three in the preseason finale against Philadelphia, remained on the initial roster.Rookie cornerback Bless Austin was placed on the non-football injury list, while tight end Chris Herndon and linebacker Brandon Copeland were officially added to the suspended list — both for four games.
