Jets Hilariously Scared Their Own Players With Fake Mannequin Trick, and Fans Loved It

In this story:
The New York Jets’ social team is on a roll this offseason.
Not just literal rolls, as in the case of the Mike Williams breakfast sandwich recruitment. The Jets recently released a video in which they pranked members of their team with one of the oldest tricks in the playbook: A fake mannequin.
The Jets set up the fake mannequin next to an interviewer in the team facility who asked players to rate the new 2024-25 uniforms on a scale of one to ten. A camera caught the confused, shocked and scared faces of everyone from Aaron Rodgers to Sauce Gardner to Tony Adams.
Fans had a hoot watching the Jets players’ range of reactions and praised the Jets for the hilarious—though not entirely original—content.
Tony Adams lol
