Kene Nwangwu Earns AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Kickoff Return TD

New York Jets kickoff returner Kene Nwangwu has been named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week following his 99-yard touchdown return in Sunday's victory over the Browns. This marks the second time this season a Jets return man has received the award, with punt returner Isaiah Williams winning it previously for his touchdown against the Bengals. Nwangwu, who has five career kickoff return touchdowns since 2021 (the most in the NFL), described his scoring play, noting that once he crossed the 40-yard line, he felt confident he could outrun the kicker and safeties. The Jets' two wins this season have both featured significant special teams contributions.
