Expecting the sensational \u2014 the overlooked part of his catch was how he switched the ball to his other hand and tucked it into his chest as he somersaulted to the ground, avoiding a ground-caused incompletion \u2014 is not seen as a burden by Cole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was unexpected, but it wasn\u2019t accidental,\u201d said Cole, who calmly jogged back to the huddle and finished the drive with a touchdown catch. \u201cIt happened so fast. But I practice that type of stuff all the time. If I say I practice it, then I have to stay true to it and make those catches when they come. I try to work on being there for the irregular times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Music to rookie quarterback Zach Wilson\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n<p>All the excitement generated by the Jets signing $37.5 million free agent Corey Davis and drafting Elijah Moore \u2014 both of whom have had strong training camps \u2014 has allowed the 26-year-old Cole\u2019s addition to fly under the radar. In a suddenly deep receiving corps, the 6-foot-1, 194-pound Cole is not the tallest, fastest or youngest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had a superpower, I think I would be the one who adapts within the play,\u201d Cole said. \u201cThat would be cool. If we are running all slants and Corey moves someone out of the way, [Jamison] Crowder goes, and I\u2019ll just be the one to figure it out and use attributes from both of them to get better and figure out different types of ways to get open.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Jets_Giants_Football-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Jets\" class=\"wp-image-19149247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Jets_Giants_Football-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Jets_Giants_Football-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Jets_Giants_Football-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Keelan Cole makes a catch against the Giants.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cole has a knack for figuring things out.<\/p>\n<p>The converted cornerback learned to play wide receiver at Division II Kentucky Wesleyan and then blossomed into the undrafted rookie who not only made a talented roster but led the Jaguars in receiving yards (748) the year they finished one win shy of reaching the Super Bowl. Three seasons later, he had career highs of 55 catches and five touchdowns to earn a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to be somewhere I was wanted, always wanted to have an equal chance,\u201d Cole said. \u201cOnce you get the money, they have to give you an opportunity. There are a lot of steps you take for going \u2018undrafted\u2019 to disappear. I\u2019m working to be a No. 1 [receiver], not working just to be on the roster anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole is in the unusual position of having upgraded by leaving the one-win Jaguars for the two-win Jets, switching cities that became obsessed with losing last season for the possibility to draft Trevor Lawrence. Already that feels like a long time ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really wanted to be blind to that stuff and block it out, but it was stressful,\u201d Cole said. \u201cWhen you want to take the next step and you\u2019re not winning games, it\u2019s not a good environment to be in when you are actually trying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about how with this team, compared to where I\u2019ve been, there\u2019s more positivity. You never know what to expect coming into any season, but after the first preseason game \u2014 not the game play or the detail \u2014 but there was the positivity that we can win.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
