Jamison Crowder is getting a little work in with the Jets’ MetLife Stadium roommates.
According to The Record’s Art Stapleton, Crowder joined Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and receivers Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton for some offseason workouts at Duke University. Both Crowder and Jones are Duke alumni.
Crowder is from Monroe, North Carolina, which is two and a half hours from Duke. So this doesn’t have to do as much with the Giants players at the university, but rather Crowder being closer to home.
Crowder played at Duke from 2011-2014. He recorded 3,641 receiving yards in his college career to go with 23 touchdowns. Crowder was also used a lot on special teams as a returner. He had 65 returns for 869 yards and five touchdowns for the Blue Devils.
The 26-year-old just finished his first season with the Jets after spending the first four years of his career with Washington. In his first year in New York, Crowder had 76 catches for 833 yards and six touchdowns.
The chemistry between him and Sam Darnold was great throughout the season. Crowder acted as Darnold’s safety net and was regularly able to find open holes in the middle of the field.
The hope is that chemistry between Crowder and Darnold can continue into next season and evolve over the next couple of seasons. But for now, Crowder will get his work in at Duke with some Giants players.
