Why Malachi Corley's College Experience Is Shaping Start With Jets

It just simply is the exact same thing that happened when he was a standout in college.

"Kind of reminds me my story at Western Kentucky," Corley said on the team's website. "My first year there, I didn't get many opportunities, which is pretty similar to my story here. I've really just been taking everything with a grain of salt, learning that it's God's plan ultimately.

"If I have to sit behind guys and wait my turn, it's probably for a good reason. Just because I'm a young, talented person coming to the league doesn't mean I know all the ins and outs of how to play football. Sitting behind guys who are in different points of their career who are great players has given me the opportunity to really learn and grow."

Corley made headways in college when he was called the "YAC King" for his ability to score regardless of the position the offense had him in. 

With New York, touches have been hard to come by. He did seemingly record a touchdown in the team's 21-13 win over the Houston Texans, but he dropped the ball at the goalline before crossing the end zone.

On the season, Corley has recorded three receptions for 16 yards. While a new regime will need to decide on Corley moving forward, the rookie still believes he has something to offer for this current roster and in the future.
