Ben Kotwica pleased with Josh Cribbs impact

New York Jets special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica has said that Josh Cribbs has made an impact since joining the team earlier this week.

The wide receiver, who is known as a kick return specialist, will make his debut for the Jets against AFC East rivals the New England Patriots later today.

Kotwica told the team's official website: "I think he's had a great career as a returner and we're hoping to build on that over the remainder of the season.

"He's been solid and I just like the guy, I really like what he's brought to the room in the short time that he's been here, and he's going to help us out."

Cribbs spent the previous eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns, returning eight kickoffs and three punts for touchdowns during that time.
