Andrew Beck Embraces 'Emergency Specialist' Role for Jets Special Teams

New York Jets fullback/tight end Andrew Beck has stepped into a unique role as the team's 'emergency specialist' after handling kickoff duties against the Chiefs. In his eighth season, Beck kicked off five times to give New York an extra tackler on coverage, though one attempt went out of bounds. The versatile veteran, who also serves as the team's emergency long snapper, practiced kickoffs again this week and could continue in the role.
