Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was not happy with rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley, who was about to score a touchdown but dropped the football just inches before crossing the goal line.
“Definitely frustrated to be honest, and angry at the same time,” Ulbrich said of his feelings after Corley’s stupid play. “But what a great opportunity for this kid to grow and learn from. I promise you that in 10 years, if he’s still in this league, this will never happen again.”
Ulbrich was asked what he said to Corley next.
“First of all, you can’t do that. And second, you owe us,” Ulbrich told Corley.
Incredibly, NFL players with a clear path to the end zone sometimes drop the football inside the 1-yard line, but it has happened several times. It’s as stupid a mistake as a player can make on the football field, and players keep making it. Even if Ulbrich is confident Corley won’t make it again.
