New York Jets WR Quincy Enunwa will be given the chance to earn a bigger role in the passing game during training camp, but head coach Adam Gase said he does not want Enunwa to take unnecessary hits and wants him to stay healthy. ‘He is a physical player. He’s a big man. When he gets to the secondary, he’s a tough guy to bring down. We were on opposite teams last year and he carried about 12 guys on his back for about 10 yards. At some point, you’d like him to go down. When you know it’s getting too many, just going down and saving yourself for the next play because we’re going to need him,’ Gase said.
