One way or another, the Jets are going to start a center who vacations in a niche spot in northern Michigan where hunting and snowmobiling are the popular pastimes.
Preseason practice ended Wednesday without a winner of the position battle between incumbent Joe Tippmann and free-agent addition Josh Myers — two Big Ten products who learned this summer that they have more than snapping in common.
“It’s still playing out,” head coach Aaron Glenn said, tersely confirming only that the Jets will “play a center” rather than line up with four offensive linemen.
The biggest starting lineup decision of training camp has only been complicated by left guard John Simpson’s recent absence at practice, which put Tippmann (at guard) and Myers on the field together.
