That's No Moon Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Solid player in the MEAC. I need the PR to catch the ball, hold onto the ball, and run the correct direction. Anything else is a bonus. 3 2 Quote

Roundybout Posted August 27 Posted August 27 So maybe there’s something to the Hardy injury rumor? Quote
Logic Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) Best I could do is the article below. Seems like he was brought in strictly to be the Bills' returner. With Hamler and Isabella being cut and the rumor that Hardy is injured, the Bills literally didn't have a viable guy on the roster to return punts and kicks. Codrington is likely that guy. https://www.ganggreennation.com/2024/7/23/24203096/scouting-new-york-jets-udfa-cornerback-returner-brandon-codrington Codrington felt he was overlooked because of his lack of size as a high school recruit, with schools only offering him partial scholarships and preferred walk-on status offers. He instead opted to walk on at NC Central, where family members including his father had attended. Despite initially being buried on the depth chart, Codrington worked his way into the rotation as a freshman and registered six tackles in 12 games while also contributing as a return man. After the 2020 season got cancelled due to the pandemic, he started the first seven games of his career in 2021 and racked up a career-best 43 tackles with four pass breakups. In addition to his performance on defense, Codrington started to make a name for himself on special teams, as he was third in the FCS with a 15 yards per return average on punts and second in the MEAC on kickoffs. This earned him all-conference and HBCU All-American first team honors. In 2022, Codrington’s return numbers dropped off, but he still contributed well on defense with 19 tackles and a pass breakup in five starts. His 2023 season saw him start off as a reserve, but he started the last six games and racked up 25 tackles and a career-high five pass breakups. He also had his best year on punt returns, with two touchdowns and a 19.6 yards per return average to again earn all-conference and all-American first team honors. At the end of his career, Codrington attended the HBCU combine and his pro day, but he wasn’t expected to be drafted and didn’t get signed as an undrafted free agent. However, Codrington then attended the Jets’ rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis and earned a contract with no guaranteed money. Codrington is...very small. Although listed at 5’9” and 185 pounds, he weighed in at just 176 pounds during the offseason and measured less than 5’8”. He also has extremely short arms. At the HBCU combine, Codrington’s numbers were pretty bad across the board, including a 4.61 in the 40-yard dash, 32.5-inch vertical and 4.47 in the short shuttle. He improved on each of these at his pro day, registering marks of 4.55, 35 inches and 4.33 in those disciplines. Edited August 27 by Logic 1 3 Quote

Who was gonna return kicks and punts for the Bills? 2 6 Quote
LLCoolCy Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Jets fans are mildly annoyed with the trade... so that's worth a late 2026 pick swap if nothing else. https://forums.jetnation.com/topic/181717-jets-cuts-to-53-official-thread/page/8/#comments 1 9 2 1 Quote
Process Posted August 27 Posted August 27 How bad must Hamler have been for them to trade for a guy rather than just have him fill in for a few weeks? 1 1 Quote
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 27 Posted August 27 My guess is that Hardy will be put on IR because he looked good at cb and as a punt returner. 2 2 Quote
