Jets vote veteran Mosley as MVP

C.J. Mosley’s first season with the Jets ended after two games.

His second season ended before it ever began.

The veteran linebacker’s third season with Gang Green will end on Sunday, fresh off his being named the team’s Most Valuable Player.

Mosley’s teammates voted him MVP, the Jets announced Wednesday, as they wrap up a season in which the linebacker was finally able to make his impact felt both on defense and in the locker room.

“It was an awesome feeling,” Mosley said. “I was very honored and very blessed to be voted team MVP by my peers, by my brothers.”

After missing most of 2019 with a groin injury and opting out the 2020 season for COVID-19 reasons, Mosley has started 15 games this season, recording 155 tackles and two sacks.

But the captain has been just as valuable to the Jets in trying to turn the team’s culture around.

“He’s an All-Pro player and an All-Pro human,” coach Robert Saleh said.

Also on Wednesday, Mosley was named the Gerald Eskenazi Media Good Guy Award for his professionalism and thoughtfulness in dealing with the media.

➤ WR Elijah Moore, who has missed the past four games with a quad injury, was expected to be working off to the side during Wednesday’s practice, Saleh said. Moore was not spotted during the portion open to the media, though it’s possible he was inside.

➤ DL Quinnen Williams was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, as were TE Tyler Kroft and RB Tevin Coleman. Williams said the virus was “a brutal challenge.” ... RB Michael Carter is progressing in the concussion protocol and Saleh is “expecting him back.”
