What happened

One of the surprising players in Jets training camp has been tight end Jelani Woods.

Why it matters

The fifth-year player has struggled in an injury-filled career but he has stood out during Jets camp.

Common ground

Part of it may be him reuniting with Frank Reich, who was the head coach of the Colts when they drafted Woods in 2022.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
