Todman, 27, has bounced around between four teams in six years. Most recently, he spent the 2016 season with the Colts where he carried the ball only nine times and contributed mainly on special teams. Todman had 16 kick returns for a total of 478 yards in 2016, giving him a strong 29.9 yards-per-return average. That total includes one spectacular 99-yard return for a touchdown against the Packers in November. Jets fans looking to forget about their troubles can view the impressive play on YouTube.

The Jets already have a big group of running backs, including main guys Bilal Powell and Matt Forte plus reserves Brandon Wilds, Elijah McGuire (rookie), Brandon Burks, and Romar Morris. As a return specialist, Todman may have a leg up on making the 53-man roster.
