Kene Nwangwu earns Special Teams award for starry Jets debut

One game, one major award for Kene Nwangwu. 

Nwangwu was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after he paired a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with a forced fumble on kickoff coverage in a loss to the Seahawks.

The former Second Team All-Pro for the Vikings was on the Jets practice squad all season.

He was elevated to make his season debut last week and was rewarded for his performance by being signed to the active roster. 

Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich raved about Nwangwu’s practice habits as he awaited an opportunity.

The Seahawks’ Leonard Williams was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after he had two sacks, an interception returned for a touchdown and a blocked PAT against his former team.
