Shonn Greene is making an impression with his 230-pound body and downhill running style.
The pleases first-year Jets coach Rex Ryan.
"I love the way guys bounce off of him," the Jets head coach said at his just concluded news conference between today's early and late rookie minicamp practices. "He goes rolling in there and guys are going flying. It doesn't matter who it is. An offensive teammate went flying today. He hits that hole, and this is a big man coming through there. He runs low. He's just a big old rascal. But they do, they bounce off him."
His hands? That's still up in the air. He caught just eight passes last year and 11 in his career.
