Back in April, when the Jets made the trade for Santonio Holmes, I was cautiously optimistic, probably the way most Jets fans felt. Yes, the team was getting a Super Bowl MVP and a clutch reception receiver but they were also getting a potential character issue. I mean, he was suspended for the first four games this season, he is one strike away from a full season suspension, he has to compete with Braylon Edwards as the alpha receiver and he's a free agent at the end of this season.
So really, who were we getting?
Well, since he's come back from suspension, especially in four of the last 5 games, he has been the Jets MVP and can be a league MVP if he keeps it up. Holmes has been everything and more for the Jets the last month. A perfect teammate and the best friend for Mark Sanchez.
- Set up the winning touchdown by drawing a pass interference call in Denver.
- Catch and run to set up the winning field goal in overtime in Detroit
- Game winning catch and run, again in overtime, in Cleveland.
- 120+ yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner with 10 seconds left yesterday, vs Houston.
