“In high school, you’re asked to just go be a better athlete than everybody else and more times than not, you’re able to do that,” Kuntz said. “But (college) really helped me learn the ins and outs of the game.”
He had just one catch in 21 games at Penn State before he transferred to Old Dominion, where he broke out in his first season there with 73 catches for 692 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games while also being selected to the first-team All-Conference USA in 2021.
But an injury to a kneecap that required surgery last November limited him to just 12 catches for 144 yards and two TDs in five games last season, and it clouded his prospects for playing in the pros. “He tested through the roof,” Jets general manager Joe Douglas said. “So we were sitting there at the top of the seventh round and just going through some of the guys who just had that ‘freak factor’ to him and he was right there at the top. The size, the speed, the length, the jump — just everything.”
“He’s an athletic freak, as everybody knows,” Kuntz said. “There’s certainly traits of his game that I love to say I kind of exhibit in mine.”
