His dads reaction i can watch it a million times more it was legendary

[@juliorivera1354]

Go do your thing Jeremy…we’re proud of you!! from a native New Yorker and Jets fan!!!!!

[@abcortsen]

THE JETS CHANT AT THE END IS CLASSIC!!!

[@DustinKeller81]

This is so fucking awesome. Gets better every time honestly

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Growing up on Long Island, this was quite emotional to watch. It's funny that Lindy could be an arch rival on game day but when a guy gets called by your pro team the allegiance to Long Island Strong becomes your new foundation. This is awesome. Congrats Jeremy, now BALL OUT baby!!!

[@BuddhaLove77]

I tear up everytime I see that 😭😁 It's just awesome too see. I really lived Kolar, even though he is lot a polished Blocker, but damn this Story is so good and he fit's our Tight End Profile very good. Just a damn good Draft Pick

[@SloanJordan]

So many great moments, him picking his own jets hat over the draft caps (note the draft caps aren’t mesh) his dad immediately losing it once he realizes what hats in his sons hand. Fantastic. Jeremy has no choice but to become a star now.

This is freaking amazing i watched this 1000 times im so freaking PUMPED!!!!!! Jets got a STUD!!! Seems like a great guy and family and hes from Long Island it makes it even better and then growing up a fan of that team along with ur family it makes it a billion times better then that .. just cant even imagine and of all times when the jets are changing the culture and have a really really bright future

[@Menyhard]

Congratulations

[@johntoscano5874]

Congratulations Jeremy and the whole family!!! Will be amazing to have one of our own in there on Sundays now. There’s not another player that will know what it feels being a Jets fan and the pain we’ve all gone through. That’s why having you on the team will make such a difference. Also you know Jet fans will favour you over all the other tight ends (sorry CJ and Tyler!)

[@bruceterrell63]

That was CHILLING proud of you man, go get it brotha!

[@aaralynhall]
