Mission accomplished last month, when T.J. Luther, a wide receiver, signed with the Jets after going undrafted out of FCS school Gardner-Webb.
Technically, it was a gray Ford 250 van that was endearingly nicknamed “The Luther Bus.”
If the size of the family made for a crowded car ride, it created a competitive streak that served the children well athletically.“Football in the backyard, games, who ate more? Anything you can think of that we were all doing collectively as a family was a competition,” T.J. said. “We always had that edge about us and believed iron sharpens iron. We used to chase rabbits — they were fast, I’m not going to lie — but it would build up our wind.”He averaged 18.
With every route he runs for the Jets, T.J. wants to renew his little brothers’ faith in big dreams after tragedy. “When my mom passed, I knew then that I was going to fulfill everything she said I was going to do,” T.J. said. “I had a drive and a fire in me that wasn’t going to die down. I wasn’t looking at the competition, I was going against at the time, because I knew there was better competition out there, so I prepared myself for that. I knew that I had to put a little extra work in than the average.”Lamb never thought T.J.
